Terrific.
I'm reminded of some low-budget British fantasy movie that I watched on TV once. It was some really generic fantasy crap, but what struck me about the movie was the soundtrack went really fucking heavy on the 80s synth. It did my nut in actually because it was so hardcore and didn't fit the movie at all. Almost comical in a way.
I'll never remember what that movie was unfortunately though. It was clearly made on the cheap, so it probably isn't that well known.

I can't believe I found that movie. It was 'Hawk the Slayer'. The whole soundtrack is pretty much hardcore 80s synthesizer. It's so heavy on it that it begins to really do your head in.
This kind of gives you an idea:

I own Hawk the Slayer on DVD, and yes the music is great.
I think this compilation has been mentioned a few times, but I'll mention it again.
Can't stop playing this! Starforce - Future Romance (feat. Epydemic)
Yep...After watching it I didn't know what to feel. But the atmosphere and music was great.
And yet it's still highly enjoyable.

You won't get any argument from me there. As a matter of fact I've been periodically checking the director's imdb page and... still nothing sadly.
I really love this song (Don't Feel) by The Killscreens. A bit more synth pop with game influence, rather than "cyperpunky," but really fantastic.

Not 80s style, because it is from the 80s, but very atmospheric.

Awesome! New album I assume? Can't wait.
I don't think the word "lush" has ever been used more appropriately to describe anything. Beautiful.I'm just gonna leave this here....

Glad to hear it actually!
Not exactly pop, but this does have good cyberpunk vibes.

Yeah! And Hotline Miami 2 nearing release too! Not only more killing, but more music!
How near is "nearing"?
It's this summer, I think. Maybe that's just my wishful thinking. Don't believe DD has announced a hard date.

After growing up loving John Carpenter soundtracks I'm just finding shit like Lazerhawk and, thanks to this thread, Powerglove. Also Carpenter Brut which sort of also fits the bill. Kind of been searching for this shit since the Hotline Miami 2 trailer.
This is good life soundtrack shit.

Okay, now I'm jealous. I would actually go to a club with this music, clubs around me are fucking awful, rap and pop. Meh

Could you imagine it? I'd be like walking INTO Blade Runner. Or the neo-80s. Either way, it would be fucking awesome.
BYO oversized 80s sunglasses and leather jacket.
This is some really good stuff, especially "Come get me" and "The man from the company"

Except that second track. I am probably in the minority here, but for some reason I only really enjoy this sort of music when it's instrumental (save for maybe a sample or something). The cheesy female vocals are just a bit too much for me.

Man, really been digging on this thread lately. Fucking LOVE Lazerhawk and Carpenter Brut and just now gave Perturbator a go. Good shit. I love that all this stuff is on Google Play, too, so it's already on the service I subscribe to.
Too much great shit. It's like a world where John Carpenter became the world's most popular musician and finally decided to just make soundtracks full time and just inspired even more dudes in the following decades.
