Nice, thanks for all the suggestions! The Spotify Playlist i've made that's in the OP keeps updating all the time! Over 1000 tracks already. http://open.spotify.com/user/malakaei/playlist/5gZW4WSpROILFTQIx0qz76
I also made a more portable friendly 100 track playlist that's handy for offline use. http://open.spotify.com/user/malakaei/playlist/7mFB0RRl4BdGhBjIAXR0Ku perfect for all those summernight piqueniques!
And get this great free album for the weekend:

I find the original is more laid back but I prefer the GRUM remix

Just downloaded the Outrun album and I want to say.
There's any way to give them money? I don't think such a good album with so many tracks should be free.
I want to throw money at the screen, goddamnit.
So worth getting this album. That Plaisance happens to appear (love their LP from last year) is an unexpected but happy surprise.

i agree, 30 tracks on a free album and they are all diamond level tracks, not some tryout-demo-level stuff
but i support the artists by buying the other albums from here for example:
http://nightcrawler.bandcamp.com/
http://plaisance.bandcamp.com/
http://aphasiarecords.bandcamp.com/
http://synthesizer.bandcamp.com/
Few days late here, but wow! This is great. And 30 tracks ain't no joke of a release. Thanks for posting.
Awesome thread! I'd recommend Unit Black Flight...definitely on the darker/slower side. Here's a few tracks:
Unit Black Flight:
No Turning Back
Not Named
Masking (Franz Falckenhaus remix) - *my favorite of the bunch*

this is fucking great loving it
Here's a little gem I just found on bandcamp from Arc Neon, "Blood Sport 2092".
http://arcneon.bandcamp.com/album/blood-sport-2092
That cover! Pretty bad ass.

nice find, this is great.
The only thing missing a character with Michale Beihn's likeness on that cover.
Found another recent release that I'm loving. "Miami System" from Action Jackson.
http://aphasiarecords.bandcamp.com/album/miami-system-ep
These retro style covers are just fantastic.

No mention of John Foxx? For those unaware, he was a founding member of Ultravox in the late 70s before leaving to go solo. He made a series of excellent solo records before leaving music for several years. He came back, and is currently working with analog synth maniac Benge as John Foxx and the Maths. If you love that 70s-80s synth sound, check out a master at work.

fantastic stuff!
I missed this. Damn this guy is good.
y'all need some Gatekeeper:
I prefer their Optimus Maximus EP (basically the best John Carpenter soundtrack the man never wrote) to Giza or Exo, but all of them are worth listening to.
Wow, this is superb. I'm glad I returned to this thread.

Heh, a friend of mine made one of the tracks on this. He's OGRE.
Here's his bandcamp;
http://ogresound.bandcamp.com/music
Calico Brawn is the newest and best. 194 is great but a bit too influenced by some stuff in places (probably good though if you don't recognise them). I lived with him so I know what he was listening to a lot of haha. Probably the same with a lot of artists though.

do you need to know anything beyond that picture about this track
http://flasharnold.bandcamp.com/track/flash-arnold-dorsia
The song 29:55 into this podcast (Island - Don't You Know) is epically awesome:
http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/Plastician050713.mp3
Couldn't find it anywhere else but I hear it's being released soon

This one is awesome.
Dude. This is awesome.
That daft punk remix is indeed amazing. That whole 80's feel to it...i say damn!
This would be a perfect song in a game with 8 bit or 16 bit graphics and gameplay. Pretty awesome track for sure!
Shhhiiiiiiiiiitt that track...holy moly dat channel..subscribed!
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but Ultra Sheriff's Galactic Fame is really good but might have more of a weird Flash Gordon vibe than a cyberpunk one. There is definitely a dose of 80's to be had though.

Best place to find more seem to be Spotify since most of their songs are not on youtube.
