The band released their first album Future Generation in 1987. They continued to release one album per year until disbanding in 1995.
While many of the songs on Laserdance's full albums are listed as being composed by Erik, Michiel contradicted this in an interview, stating "Yeah, he was actually the person who was selling the records. He wasn't playing at all. [...] Yeah, he sold the rights. I was playing the songs, and he sold, sorry, bought the rights. That's why his name was on the songs."
In 2000 Erik van Vliet released a new album as Laserdance called Strikes Back.
Michiel Van Der Kuy stayed silent in the synthdance scene for these intervening 9 years, but then with Rob van Ejik started a new project: "AREA 51".

Run the life
I and you forever, I run the power run
Me and you due to make a world of surprise
Me and you forever, I had the power run
Me and you forever, I had power run
Power Run

Power Run
I never close my eyes
I want the power run

I want to run on you
Run the life

I am going with you, I have the power run
Me and you forever, I had power run
Me and you to struggle my fear of the unknown
I want you forever, I had power run
Power Run

Power Run
Power Run
I've never thought to do it
I want the power run
I feel it in the music
I want to run on you
The lyrics to Laserdance's song Powerrun are a call to the future generation to take control of their own lives and run towards their dreams. The singer speaks of himself and his partner, saying that they will continue to stay together and make the world a better place. The repeated chorus of "Power Run" represents the drive and determination that they have to succeed.
The first two lines "Welcome to the future generation, Run the life" suggest that there is a new era dawning and the singer is urging everyone to take advantage of the opportunities it offers. He is declaring that he and his partner will work together to achieve greatness and change the world, and the constant repetition of "Me and you forever" emphasizes the strength and commitment of their relationship. The line "I never close my eyes, I want the power run" suggests that the singer is constantly alert and chasing his goals. He is willing to put in the work needed to succeed, and he wants his partner to do the same.
The verses are followed by more repetitions of the chorus and the line "Run the life over", suggesting that they want to leave the past behind and start anew. The final verse says "I want you forever, I had power run". Here, the singer is expressing his desire to continue moving forward and achieving success with his partner, and that he has already tasted the sweetness of that success. The final line "I feel it in the music, I want to run on you" suggests that the singer is inspired by the music and wants to keep moving with his partner in everything they do.

Those memories hitting me in the face listening again.
In the middle of the home computer explosion, c64, amiga and the demo scene. It isn't really related, but just simply at the same time.

I had a "mod" (noisetracker) version of this particular laserdance tune on one of my 3,5" floppies. Made by a fan, obviously.
