Good article.

Drive wasn't scored by Clint Mansell though, so that's one nitpick.

yeah wtf, robbing Cliff Martinez!

No nitpick, that's a pretty big goof!

Martinez himself is a little hard to classify. That stuff he did for The Knick for example has some obvious 80s inspiration but still nothing close to retro. I love that guy's work. Nice to have a mainstream composer who really has a truly unique sound of his own.

Just a heads-up that there's a "Future 80s" bundle over at Groupees that's still in pre-order phase for the next half-hour or so. Has 8 albums and is currently going for a dollar (likely $2 when the bundle goes live). I'm sure a lot of you remember how awesome the Synthwave bundle was, and I have a feeling this one will be just as good.

One of the announced bonuses is VHS Dreams' "Trans Am", which sounds amazing!

Edit: Bundle is live.

$1:

Block 35 - Central Control
Cluster Buster - Total Terror
Midnight Driver - Step Into the Neon Grid
VHS Dreams - EP
Video Video - Planet of Storms
(Bonus #1 - Cluster Buster - Knee Deep in the Dead)
(Bonus #2- VHS Dreams - Trans Am)

$2:

Python Blue - A Dark Future
Ron Cannon - Blue Light Murder
Z6B3R - Telstar 12

Worth the $2 for this alone.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This is a great thread.

 

[Cru]

That Groupees bundle is pretty awesome.

This is a great thread.

Out of sheer curiosity, how did you find it? Newcomers are not as plentiful as they once were now that we're on the Community board.

Dance With The Dead have come out with a new version of The Poison. It foregoes the original version's electronic focus and is more of a pure electronic metal track. The track is still absolutely mental though.

I finally bought the Trilogy album last week and man it is so good!

I think the original stuff works better.

The synths provide a nice balance that isn't present in this version.

I haven't been here for a long time since this thread moved to Community.

We've gone mainstream, boys!

Comedy Central's Moonbeam City trailer.

Can't wait to watch this.

a little article about synthwave on screenhead:

http://www.screenhead.com/synthwave-rise-of-retro-electronic-music/

Nice read. I wish they have mention Hotline Miami in the article because that's how I (and maybe everyone else) got into this genre.

And while I was away, I finally bought Carpenter Brut's "Trilogy". Now I'm in love.

New Gunship.

One more week until the album releases.

Kinda late on this. What a cool video. Did not expect a

Wow, love the chorus in this version.

I wouldn't mind if they did some more songs like this on their next album. Some of the songs on the last album sounded a bit samey.

I just saw it on the community board and decided to check it out.

Did that the last time such great bundles for such a low price!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I think that Dance With The Dead should collaborate on an album with Kreeps. That would be cool.

Slumlord - Neon Indian

I fucking love Neon Indian. I must have listened to Era Extrana around 100 times. The new album is shaping up well.

 

[Kezen]

Well known but I can't resist :

Dynatron, Stars of the Night.

 

[NotLiquid]

Friend of mine just showed me this new Bestrack song that came out a few weeks ago, Hajime.

I love that chorus.

 

[Kezen]

Once again nothing obscure (very famous albums in their respective genres), but Perturbator knocked it out of the park with their latest offering Dangerous Days.

"Minuit" brings me to tears everytime.

This new Trevor Something song hasn't been posted yet.

Can't wait for his new album. It was supposed to release in summer.

Liked this one a lot more than his last one, "Parasite." Very catchy.

What's been everybody's official track of the summer?

Mine's been Revel in Your Time (MN84 RMX) by GUNSHIP.

Sweet, sweet sounds of the summer.

Posted this before, but it's Sellorekt/L.A. Dreams - Drop Top for me. Incredible song, and just oozes summer fun. The video certainly helps, all I can think about is the beach when I listen. The entire EP is awesome.

 

[t-storm]

Noice.

 

[Carnby]

I was wrong. EPII is not a dud. It might be Brut's best EP.

Looking For Tracy Tzu is an incredible song.

 

[AoM]

Looking For Tracy Tzu is an incredible song.

Brut does a great job at incorporating some form of vocals, but having them accentuate the music itself, instead of dominating the entire song.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I recently found out about this act:

Magic Sword - In The Face Of Evil


Reminds me quite much of Kavinsky.

 

[Vorg]

I was wrong. EPII is not a dud. It might be Brut's best EP.

Yeah, pretty much all of the tracks in epII are amazing. Not sure how you got the idea that it was a dud. I mean, dat sexkiller on the loose alone...

 

[SJRB]

Anyone receive their Carpenter Brut shirt yet?

Was supposed to ship in July, then it was delayed to August 21st but I still haven't heard a thing.

 

[Noisepurge]

any gaffers tomorrow at the Perturbator, GosT, Dan Terminus, Flash Arnold gig will get a free beer from me! just come to the DJ-booth and find the guy with a mohawk.

and welcome to my party!

Hey, my synth-listening friends!

A few month ago I posted about some dude calling himself DUETT. He hadn't done much, but he still became one of my favorite synth-composers with the few songs he did.

It's taken quite a while, but here's his new album and the waiting was worth it. Seriously, don't pass this up.

http://duett.bandcamp.com/album/borderline

Don't forget to listen to his old album, if you haven't yet.

I don't know what I was thinking. lol.

Maybe it's because the more I search for more synth wave, the more it all sounds the same to me. I listened to EPII at the wrong time.

I'm trying my hardest to like Dance with the Dead. Excluding Into the Abyss, nothing really grabs me. I feel like their songs have great hooks, but other than that, the song just happens. It chugs along relying on the hook, and then it fizzles out. I have all of their albums now, so everyone please recommend me your favorite tracks and I'll start by giving those another chance.

My top 8 tracks + Thrasher from Out of Body and Signals from Send the Signal.

And they keep teasing their new album on Facebook. I neeeeed it.

That's awesome! My clubbing days are far behind me, but I'd gladly make an exception for a synthwave party.

Right now I'm listening to this:

It's a selection of short but sweet tracks that didn't make the Kung Fury OST. 'Playing for keeps' is stellar.
