Gas is a music project of Wolfgang Voigt (born 1961), a Cologne, Germany-based electronic musician. Voigt cites his youthful LSD experiences in the Königsforst, a German forest situated near his hometown of Köln, as the inspiration behind his work under the name Gas. He has claimed that the intention of the project is to "bring the forest to the disco, or vice-versa".
Voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects and aliases. Of these, his best known is arguably Gas, a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno.
Other names under which Voigt has released music include, but are not limited to, All, Auftrieb, Brom, C.K. Decker, Centrifugal Force, Crocker, Dextro NRG, Dieter Gorny, Digital, Dom, Doppel, Filter, Freiland, Fuchsbau, Gelb, Grungerman, Kafkatrax, Love Inc., M:I:5, Mike Ink, Mint, Panthel, Popacid, Riss, RX7, Split Inc., Strass, Studio 1, Tal, Vinyl Countdown, W.V., Wassermann, and X-Lvis.
Picture the colours
Under the waves and tides tonight
And wake up my darling
Flote up, the air awaits...
Feel the night
We've been trying to bring her to the other side
She feels the light
Walking away from the edge
It doesn't mean that you ran away. But you ran away.
Bright lights pushing you downtown
Hiding the sun for days
Been casting glances over the surfice
Make sure the weather's right tonight
These sort of places bring out the best in you
She feels the night
We've been waiting to meet her on the other side
She feels the light
Walking away from the edge
It doesn't mean that you ran away. But you ran away.
Bright lights pushing you downtown
Hiding the sun for days
Walking towards the edge
I would expect you to run away. Did you run away?
Bright lights pushing you downtown
Fill up your eyes, making them bright again.
Light it up, Just Light it up (x4)
On your own again
