The opening song for our third album: Synthetika (The Infiltration) is insanely catchy, and all the ingredients are there: lots of incredible sound effects, pumping bass sequences, vast ambient soundscapes, heavily distorted NASA samples and melodies that will stay in your head for days. Partially inspired by Jarre's Metamorphoses, and definitely recommended for synth lovers! Do the Galby Shuffle and download our newest baby! |

Toccata et Fuga has been our most succesful song - this is the track that soared the charts in january 1999, reaching an all time height when it became 37th in the mp3.com Top 40 This track was downloaded more than 20.000 times, and for good reasons! The combination of huge church organs and powerful synthesizers simply rocks. Yeah, Bach would love this! |

The first part of the title song of the Robotica CD. Lots of incredible samples, vocoders and sound effects. On top of that, our new synthesizer, the Yamaha SY85 is making its debut here. You'll notice the difference in sound. Many, many influences from Industrial and Techno. O yes, and this is only the first part... more is coming up! Download this incredible prelude and you'll understand what makes Galbatron so special. You thought robots couldn't dance? Hahahaha... |

This is the longest and most symphonic piece we have ever written. Writing the piece took 6 months. It features over 100 tracks and more than 8 minutes of pure symphonic electronic music, starting with a moving intro and ending in a grand climax. On top of that, the song also features the famous Leusdome Apocalypse Choir. Actually this song is so huge that 2 Pentium II 350 computers were not enough to control all synthesizers used. |

Synthesizer Theme Song. Actually made many years ago. First time we ever experimented with this (in those days) very new gadget called rhythmic chord. The intro has some nice odd metres (as far as we remember, it combines 3/4 with 4/4 and 7/8). Quick Picks says: "Amazing..." |

Originally written in 1992 as a Game Over tune for a shoot 'em up called DASS, the theme worked out so nicely that we decided to make a separate track of it on the CD. It's sad, simple and beautiful, and it's got very powerful delays. It doesn't take long to download either. Ric Bonnel, one of our fans and a fellow artist on mp3.com, was moved so much by this song that he wrote some beautiful lyrics for it. For details please check out our website. |

Third time lucky they say. This is Sophistication the way it was intended to be. It contains everything a song needs: a catchy theme, great Slap Guitars, a wonderful Hammond solo (played LIVE) and ofcourse the Lead of your Dreams. And watch that nice Synth Pad go up and down... What are you waiting for? Dance! Raw42, the leading electronic review magazine on the web, says: "Galbatron is not doing bad in comparison to Jan Hammer and Vangelis!" |
