It’s a masterpiece which we wouldn’t have if it weren’t for the determination of searchers all around the world. Thank you to everyone who played a part in the search for Subways of Your Mind and causing the release of this album to happen!
Favorite track: Subways Of Your Mind (NDR Version).

Insane that FEX can come back 40 years later and just officially release music, ahaha.
Love the art and I love the music.

Tell me the truth about tomorrow
Tell me the truth about today
Tell me the truth about your sorrows
Tell me the words you think and say
I'll climb you, skyscraper
The mountain gets too high
Wait for me, wait for me
I'm living - not to die
Tell me the truth about your lover
Tell me the truth about your last
Tell me the truth you can't discover
Tell me if you want to live it fast
I'll climb you, skyscraper
The mountain gets too high
Wait for me, wait for me
I'm living – not to die
Tell me the truth about tomorrow
Tell me the truth about today
Tell me the truth about your sorrows
Tell me the words you think and say
I'll climb you, skyscraper
The mountain gets to high
Wait for me, wait for me
I'm living – not to die

All we need is money, we spend our time to find it
Level's always patting and you cannot understand it
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a gold rush
We have no recommencing and any sense of passion
We're cruel and awful, savage – and no one really can stop it
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a
Gold rush
We are like money zombies, and look for all that glitters
Our longing makes us lonely, and destiny can't hit us
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a
Gold rush
Gold rush
Gold rush
Gold rush
All we need is money, we spend our time to find it
Level's always patting and you cannot understand it
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a gold rush
It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush
It's a

+++++ SKYSCRAPER - Waves From The Past +++++
It’s finally happening! The full-length debut LP by FEX is here!
But that’s not all — we’re also offering the much-requested “Yellow Tape” cassette replica, a limited bonus vinyl EP with additional tracks, and a CD! We hope everyone will be as excited as we are.
Do you love the title song as much as we do? How do you like the artwork? Feel free to comment.
Cover Details:
The artwork was created by Darius, who recorded Subways Of Your Mind via NDR radio in the mid-80s. Without him, FEX may never have been discovered.
The image features the Eichenberg-Bunker in Kiel, where FEX had their rehearsal room.
