Question about people who got their Uncanny Valley orders already, what part of the world are you in? I live like, right next to Finland and I'm a bit worried due to me leaving on a prolonged trip on Monday so there's only two business days left for me to get my package in the mail. Dunno why this didn't ship in advance.

Northern California and I got it on Wednesday. Also Groupees has a The NewRetroWave MEGA Bundle going on now.

I know it's nothing new, but I've been listening to Waveshaper's Exploration '84 and it's INCREDIBLE. Damn.

he really is talented. And most of his stuff is analogue, played with real synths.

 

[Spwn]

My deluxe set of the new Perturbator hasn't even shipped and I live in the same city where Blood Music is operating from. Not too concerned about it, though – the guy running the label has been very open about how he operates and that it'll take time to ship out all 4000 or so pre-orders all by himself. Sure, maybe he should hire someone to make this stuff a better experience for the customers, but his target audience is mostly enthusiasts that have a lot of patience and passion and hiring someone makes it a bit more complicated to run a business in Finland.

Would love to have the album right now, though.

i know, he should allow warehouse pickups Or relocate the shipping duties to a german supplier for faster and cheaper shipping all around.

I didn't know that, impressive. Some sounds really remind me of old-school Daft Punk.

I might by his full discography.

 

[NIN90]

Waveshaper's Sounds That Kill EP is amazing.

 

[kaiju]

Sad and beautiful, one of my favorite tracks:

Pilotpriest - The Last Goodbye

Didn't know this one, thanks for posting, it's really nice.

Waveshaper's Sounds That Kill EP is amazing.

He's quickly becoming one of my favourites. Amazing, amazing sound. I'm a sucker for warm, analog synth.

Yeah I already knew it, and it's amazing! High five to you both! xD

 

[dapperbandit]

Yeah the new Waveshaper is great, maybe even better than Exploration 84.

Similar to Com Truise, the sound is kind of rudimentary (not in a pejorative sense) but can be highly emotive.

 

[Dave_6]

It's out now!

I seriously need a poster with this artwork! Love it.

[Spring Drive]

I pretty much only listen to Venger now. I've forgotten most of the other tracks from the album.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Whaaaat. The only track I skip is She Moves Like A Knife because I've already been listening to it for two years anyway. Neo Tokyo, Femme Fatale, Assault and 2112 are classics.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Been listening to FM-84's new album on a loop for the past week or so. Just the kind of dreamy, vocal-enhanced synthwave I can never seem to get enough of.

 

[cptodin]

My Uncanny Valley LP just arrived (Germany), won't be able to listen to it this month though -.-

 

[kami_sama]

I know I'm repeating myself, but I still haven't received the album
Also, Waveshaper's album is great.

Check out Fixions Migration 2019

Neon Nectar Plague is definitely worth a listen. Great track.

Also an awesome take on They Live.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Daft Punk and DotD? Is this real life?

NO. IT'S NOT.

This is what heaven's like isn't it?

I need more DWtD...

Awesome find. My inbox is nothing but "Thank you for your purchase" emails these days.

 

[PixyJunket]

Does anybody have a good Twitter feed for synthwave news and releases (including vinyl)?

 

[cptodin]

Guess who just came back from seeing Carpenter Brut

Spoiler

It's me

That was fucking amazing... If you have the chance to see them, go!

I liked how diverse the audience was, there were electro people, black metaler, ordinary people, nerds... It was a super small venue and an awesome atmosphere. Everyone dancing and there also was something like a small moshpit at times.

Also got a shirt, patches were all sold out already...

Highly recommended

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I've been getting into this genre recently, I've been listening to Gunship's album to death recently. I absolutely love Tech Noir (especially the parts leading to the chorus, it's so chilled, but not fond of the chorus itself) - and Fly for your Life. Can anyone recommend stuff that is similar to those?

I also really like Under Your Spell by Desire, A Real Hero by College and Nightcall by Kavinsky from the Drive soundtrack. I've been listening to Perturbator and a few other artists but nothing I've heard so far has properly scratched the itch, even if I have enjoyed it.

Does he ever play outside of France?

 

[afternoon delight]

Atlas by FM-84 is ear candy.

 

[cptodin]

Does he ever play outside of France?

Yes, this was the fourth gig of four in Germany.

I think they will go to Russia soon

If you like vocal stuff give Le Cassette a try.

Thanks! I'll check them out.

he does, having them over here in Finland this September Live setup is a full band version, really good stuff.

When can we expect new music? It’s been over a year since EP III.

Nothing expected before 2017. I’m a slow composer and things are very busy now. I have very little time to sit quietly with my keyboards and concentrate. But hey, Perturbator, GosT and Dan Terminus are releasing their albums soon so your stereos should be busy for at least a year! Haha.

 

[Foggy]

Seeing that Shout Factory is releasing it's blu of Manhunter tomorrow, now is as good a time as any to revisit the soundtrack

https://youtu.be/PsWq1MtI3vI

 

[retroman]

Anybody listened to this yet? I think it's a pretty good EP!

Tracklist:

1. Legend of the Keeper
2. Uprising
3. The Curse

Bandcamp link: https://magic-sword.bandcamp.com/album/legend-ep

For some reason it's not possible to listen to a preview of this EP on Bandcamp, but you can check it on Soundcloud if you want to try before you buy: https://soundcloud.com/sizerecords/magic-sword-legend-ep-preview

 

[retroman]

I'm gonna keep my eye on this:

RAD-X01, "The Finish Line" is a double vinyl compilation featuring 12 amazing artists. Here's a starter for you, revealing 3 of the 12 top class synthwave talents! SEBASTIAN GAMPL, ROBERT PARKER and VHS DREAMS. More artists to be announced soon...

 

[SynthFetish]

Blood Music just signed Tommy 86. The dark synth pentagram is complete.

Perfection.

Such an underappreciated score, and unfortunately only available as a version containing pieces of dialogue routinely interrupting the music as far as I know.

 

[Burgess_101]

Managed to pick up the blue version of Gost's Behemoth today finally. Had been keeping an eye on it. £39, which is a stupid amount of money but a good price for it. I'm thinking with his new album coming around sometime soon prices might rise.

Also finally got around to Gunship, not the usual stuff I would listen to but I really like it. It's easy to listen to which is nice in between all of the heavy hitting stuff. Of course made my way over to their website and preordered the picture disc.

It'll be my first picture disc, wonder if it sounds as bad as people say...

 

[jblank83]

Pretty pretty good

I don't know if any of you are into 3D printing but I created a Oneplus One case with the Carpenter Brut pentagram logo on it, you can pick it up here:

[PixyJunket]

I'm gonna keep my eye on this:

Neat. I'm still bummed that I missed that Robert Parker vinyl, hopefully there's a second print in the works.

And why isn't Dance with the Dead on vinyl? I need.

This album is fantastic. By far his best work.
