Synthwave-Retrowave # 80s Neon music thread
- Thread starter Noisepurge
- Start date
The record label I'm on Rosso Corsa has teamed up with Electric Purification Records to put their back catalog on vinyl. Betamax, Lost Years etc.
I usually avoid MAVS but this album is so sublime! Thanks thread for being great as usual.
Another heavy synthwave album that I think is amazing, this one's more akin to Carpenter Brut
The drop at 2:00 on the first track...well you'll get the influence. My favorite track is Engraved On Metal @ 36:35. It's more videogame influenced, almost has a MASTER BOOT RECORD sound to it. The part around 39:30 in that song is out of control.
Vulta's music https://vulta.bandcamp.com/album/sigils All of the albums are Name Your Price. I have only checked out Sigils so far, but the whole album is basically a classic imo.

Just finished watching Summer of 84 myself. Wanted to really love it... but.. found it kinda boring actually. Soundtrack from Le Matos was great, but the movie just never really grabbed me.
Why was there no police protection at the end? Killer on the loose, Davey would know he's next, shouldn't there be cops watching his family? How did Mackey slip in to their house unnoticed and no one watching?? Just a dumb plot point that led to the climax of the movie..
As someone who is only vaguely familiar with the genre, what are some new releases from this year that I should look into?
Sooooo good.
Makes me want to fire up a racing game and just listen to this.
Another new album by Makeup and Vanity Set

Anyone else fans of these guys? I was listening to their most recent work before this (Visions) when I randomly clicked their Spotify profile page and found that they had dropped this just a few weeks back. I had only stumbled upon them only like a month prior too.
Same thing happened when I randomly clicked on Judge Bitch's profile to find they had released new material back in June.
Mitch Murders new album is out now and it's awesome as expected!

This is really cool. I've always thought MAVS put out some of the best produced music in the genre.

Does anyone know what song this is in the background? I know it's a popular track I just can't figure out and it's driving me crazy. Thanks

Magic Sword - In The Face Of Evil :)
I still need to pick this up on vinyl, it's an amazing record, but hella expensive to import here in Europe.
Thanks! I formatted my PC a month or 2 ago and totally forgot about Magic Sword.
Amazing new song from Scandroid. I'm normally only a casual fan of them, but this one is better than their normal output, in my opinion.
No one must pay attention to my posts :) I posted that Scandroid track too. Mentioned how the album looks to have a good mix of everything from the few singles already.
New single from The Bad Dreamers is awesome, can't wait for the full debut album.
Should be a new Wolf and Raven album out as well tomorrow, so that should be pretty great.

Oh no! Sorry I missed your post. It's even on this page, woops.
My worlds are colliding: the latest Bon Appétit video features a whole side conversation about Timecop1983:
Soo good.
Anybody that loves some guitar with their synthwave will feel right at home with this album.
Searched the thread and didn't see anything, but I've been listening to this and it's a pretty dope compilation.

You bet, love their stuff, posted this album when it came out a couple months ago, really great stuff. Hope others checked it out then.

It's now out!!
Kids is really good. Kind of gives me feels.
Feels a little short because I've listened to America 2 and lost boys like 800 times

My one complaint too. I want more! Just feels like a great EP instead of a LP :(.
While I do agree on that we all need to remember they released an EP last year and an album two years ago. They are human after all. :)
Compare to Gunship's album in two weeks that have 13 tracks, probably no fillers or interludes, that took three years to come out.
Don't really know which kind of release cycle I prefer though.
Yeah, I'm in the same space. I've listened to America 2 a stupid amount of times.
I almost wish they'd save their singles for the full album release, but man... I get impatient and just want more.
That being said, I might think twice before buying their singles going forward. I pre ordered the album after buying the singles... and the interludes with news clips, etc, feel like a bit of a monetary waste.
