So, I've finally got around to listening to The Summoner's soundtrack. Man, I should've listened to it sooner because it's really good!

There's plenty of variety on it, too. Lots of uptempo tracks with a dark twist, a few great vocal tunes and some sinister, moody tracks. Give it a listen!

My favourite tracks are listed below.

Waveshaper & Irving Force - Retaliation
d.notive - Fire In Your Eyes
Dream Fiend - Pest Control

Hi guys,

Only just noticed this OT. Wavesynth is only something I got into a few months ago and until now was not really even aware what the genre title was called.

I've mostly listened to some stuff by Dynatron, Perturbator, Waveshaper and Megadrive. I'm finding I am very pick and mix with the songs even amongst the same artists which I thought would share a style in their albums.

I'm looking for some suggestions in the vein of something that suits driving at night. I know that is a terrible description, but something more akin to:

Future Club - Perturbator
Barbarella Reloaded - Evanton
I am the Program - Megadrive
It's Supercharged - Botnit
Industrial Sector 3083 - Bourgeoisie

I hope those examples give you an idea of what style I am looking for (if you even understand from that garbage I wrote).

Also, that Powerglove work for Trails of the Blood Dragon was pretty damn great.
