1) a Spanish alternative-pop-rock band which was founded in [year formed]1992[/year formed]. The Band currently consists of the sisters Christina Llanos (guitar/vocals) and Amparo Llanos (guitar), Jesús Antúnez (drums), and Samuel Titos (bass) who recently replaced former bassist Álvaro Díez. Their music ranges from heavy to sweet, shouting to dreaming, but always with a groovy drive.
Dover originated in the outskirts of Madrid at the beginning of the 1990s when the Llanos sisters decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle. In 1994, the drummer Jesús Antúnez and the bass guitarist Álvaro Gómez joined in. One of the band's demo tapes reached the radio program Disco Grande on RNE Radio 3. The band then entered into a one-year contract with the small independent record label Everlasting-Caroline. Their debut album Sister in 1995 lacked promotion and sold poorly; however, the Spanish fanzine Mondo Sonoro included it among the 10 best national albums of the year.
After their initial contract expired, they signed with the independent label Subterfuge Records, which produced their second album Devil Came To Me. This album turned out to be an unprecedented success in the Spanish independent scene. A fragment from the title song was included in a popular Radical Fruit Company television commercial and the band got launched to national fame. While promoting this album, the bass guitarist was replaced by Álvaro Díez, who had already been part of the band at its beginning. The album sold over 500,000 copies and gained them fans also abroad in Europe and the Americas.
Their relationship with Subterfuge Records deteriorated and they signed with Chrysalis Records. In 1998, the band created their own label Loli Jackson Records. The next year they recorded their third album Late At Night in Seattle.
In 2000, they received the MTV Europe Best Spanish Artist award. In 2001, Chrysalis re-released their first album Sister including a bonus unreleased song Noche tras noche. In September that year, after tense recording sessions in Los Angeles marked by disagreements with their album producer Barret Jones, the band released their fourth album I Was Dead For 7 Weeks In The City Of Angels.
In 2003, they released The Flame, recorded in Spain and produced by Rick Will, an album that shows all the fury that has made them big without forgetting those great songs of melody and quality. Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering, NYC) did the mastering, a classic that has mastered a lot of the legendary records of the last 15 years.
In 2006, Dover released Follow the City Lights. It was recorded at PKO Studios and self-produced along with Daniel Alcover. The album was preceded by the single Let Me Out, and broke away from their usual sound to create a more dance-like style.
The band's 2007 release 2 is a greatest hits compilation, which exhibits the rock sound that brought them to stardom, as well as the band's new electronic sound.
The first single from 2 is entitled "Soldier."
2) An artist associated with the doujin circle Tokyo Audio Waffle, or en;dolphinrecords. He is a producer of a wide range of genres, from house to hip-hop, to chiptune, and to deep house.
SPECTRUM
Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am an angel, I know the truth
Did you hear it? When they did scream
Baby I'm your brother, I'm your father
I am an angel, I know the truth
Did you hear it? When they did scream
Did you hide the sun
So sorry sad sister
I just wanna sleep the rest of my life
I am spectrum centuries of
And I forgot how to talk
I know something that nobody knows
The song "Spectrum" by the Spanish band Dover features cryptic and enigmatic lyrics that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. The opening lines are particularly intriguing, as the singer declares that they are the listener's sister, mother, brother, and father, as well as an angel who knows the truth. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the different roles and identities that people take on throughout their lives or it could be a commentary on the complexity of human relationships and the blurred lines between familial roles. The repetition of the question "did you hear it?" adds to the sense of urgency and mystery in the song, leaving listeners to wonder what exactly they're being asked to hear.
The chorus of "Spectrum" is equally puzzling, with its references to the moon and stars, the hidden sun, and the sad sister who wants to sleep forever. The singer describes themselves as a spectrum that spans centuries and hints that they have knowledge or insight that nobody else possesses. The lyrics are delivered in a dreamy, almost hypnotic style, with the vocals soaring and ebbing over the swirling guitars and drums.
Overall, "Spectrum" is a haunting and poetic song that invites multiple interpretations. It could be seen as a meditation on the nature of identity, the complexities of family relationships, or the mysteries of the universe. The haunting melody and ethereal vocals make it an unforgettable listening experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Baby I'm your sister, I'm your mother
I am a caretaker and nurturer in your life, providing support in various roles
I am an angel, I know the truth
I have insights and awareness beyond what is typically human or natural
Did you hear it? When they did scream
I am attuned to the pain and suffering of others, and can sense when they are calling out for help
Baby I'm your brother, I'm your father
I am a protector and defender in your life, and provide guidance and wisdom in various roles
Moon and the stars dry night
I am in a dark, isolated place with no hope or comfort
Did you hide the sun
I feel like someone or something has taken away the warmth and light in my life
So sorry sad sister
I am expressing deep empathy and sadness for someone close to me who is hurting
I just wanna sleep the rest of my life
I am so worn out and emotionally drained that I feel like giving up and withdrawing from the world
I am spectrum centuries of
I am a unique and complex individual, shaped by my experiences and history
And I forgot how to talk
I am struggling to communicate my feelings and emotions to others
I know something that nobody knows
I have knowledge or insight that is unknown to anyone else, and may be the key to understanding my own struggles

Está canción es parte del soundtrack de un videojuego de snowboarding que apareció hace muchos años atrás. Esa fue la primera vez que escuché a Dover. Desde entonces no he dejado de escucharlos.
