Heh, I guess so! But I'm really curious if there is a story out there of some AA-AAA studio (somebody who could afford him) trying to ask him. It has to have happened, right? I mean, not only has his interest in games been known for a significant period of time but he's expressed interest in working on one too. "If the opportunity presents itself..." Like, that makes me think has no one just fucking asked?! He's been right there, guys! His music still kicks ass!

BloodMusic was showing me new stuff from this band Oddzoo, the singer is the dude from the Perturbator track "Ventablack" so I checked it out.
I've listened to this track maybe 15 times since last night. I can't get it out of my head.

He also did the vocals for Carpenter Brut's 'Anarchy Road'.
Pert bringing the fuckin' HEAT
this is fire
such a shame he's moving away from his style, didn't really like new model at all
Oh seeing LeBrock live would be great. Curious how long the set would be.
They're playing as part of a Halloween party event with a couple of other acts; knowing the venue it'll only be a 30-40 minute set but tickets were only £5 so I'm not gonna complain. Hopefully they will do a full tour at some point.

Saw John Carpenter in Glasgow tonight, what a mad lad. Didn't know Lost Themes was so rock oriented in a lot of tracks.
That is some chill synth goodness my man. I'm digging it. I feel like its conveys just about the right kind of mood for me to work and do art with at the computer. Link to the album online?
I really wanted to go to that last night but couldn't make it
hey, thanks for listening, it's out pretty much everywhere but easiest place is probably Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/77NYzhhxGI2x9kSIofwPZZ?si=Vy9ahojVS8O3lv5ClTX_XQ
Thanks for checking it out, I'm still amazed people are enjoying my music.
Great Spotify playlist with a bunch of undiscovered artists.

Yeah, Volt Age has put out some good tracks. Would be nice to see a full album.
Nice, know a good few of these, but sure there's some good stuff on here that I'll discover. (Including your material that I need to listen to asap.)
Full album from The Bad Dreamers is out tomorrow, I can't wait.
The Bad Dreamers new album is streaming here: https://wefoundnewmusic.com/the-bad...uToXbjJfak3v1PwRPecZv5nRreHkuBblJf7DxkoE4riko
I must say this is really really good!

Reznyck's debut album French Erections is gonna melt your face off, if you're into Carpenter Brut and earlier GosT material. Been listening to it all day, absolutely amazing stuff:
You can listen to the entire album (which I highly recommend) and "pay what you want" for it over at Bandcamp: https://reznyck.bandcamp.com/

Abstract Void, the synthwave / black metal mix, just put out a new album, 'Back to Reality'. Really enjoying it.

Hi all, I'm pretty much new to this style of music, but I've been running the Spotify playlist from the OP at work all day and I'm very much liking what I hear.
I work in corporate communications and do a lot of writing and editing so the repetitive nature makes it great for focussing while I'm editing.
It also makes me want to go watch Stranger Things and old SciFi movies.
Thanks to Shane for the rec in the metal thread.

No problem at all, welcome, and have fun discovering a lot of stuff here. The thread isn't always so active, but there's plenty of stuff to go through if you're new.
Waveshaper's Lost Shapes Reinvented was also released today. Oscillian's remix of The year is 2003 as a standout for me.
Another great track released is Derek Strike's The Core.
Also, dunno if it was released today or not, but The Fury Weekend's version of Another Brick in the Wall is awesome.
Edit: Ohh I forgot. The instrumental version of Kids too.

While I was listening to some of these tracks I thought that the sound was familiar for some reason. Then, while I was cooking breakfast this morning, I decided to throw on some Leonard Cohen and then I realised why.
Not sure if it qualifies because it is actually from 1988 rather than now, but I thought some of you might enjoy it too.
Plus, everyone should listen to Leonard Cohen. He was amazing.

They finally released Lucio's album, Synaestheia Auditiva, as a free download (to promote the upcoming Lucio-Oh's cereal).
It's a nice mixture of trance/low-fi synthwave, 11 tracks, and it's worth checking out.

speaking of gamesoundtracks, the Xcom Legacy soundtrack is a nice pack of synthwave goodness inspired by the original Xcom Ufo Defence:

Also on Spotify.

Got around to listening to more of the newest DEADLIFE and I like it a lot. Very different than the last album, reminds me a bit of Balam Acab.

Figured I'd share this EP I put out today. A couple of tracks in here are very dark synthwave inspired (Antipathy and Kill Command), it's not what I'd call my forte but I like to make some good old cheesy horror retro music during halloween.
Midnight danger was actually the support for Dance with the dead here because of some visa issues for Daniel Deluxe. Good show
