i approach my 5th decade on the planet but in a position to wear either one perturbator t-shirt, oe a choice of 2 gunship t-shirts.i clearly need to grow the fuck up.

I am trying to listen to more of this stuff but the lazerhawk one is good and almost transcends the genre imho

I finally made it to that Xordox album in my listening queue and it's fun and recommended for anyone who likes this stuff, especially the John Carpenter soundtrack + homage fans

i suspect that this whole thing will now dwindle away as there really has not been a definitive crossover act/album.yeah, advertising execs will suck up a few of the crew, and there will be a lot of AV syncs that will hopefully pay the bills.but as for a big album that blows the scene up, i think the moment has passed.i mean, even perturbator has moved on.
― mark e, Thursday, 11 January 2018 23:18 (six years ago) link
loving the VHS Glitch collection that i got via that offer earlier.best so far is the MORAL DECAY album.

new album by GosT
https://blood-music.bandcamp.com/album/possessor
more variety in the sound design, i.e. its not just one solid slab of distorted synth (of course there is a lot of that style, as thats just the way with GosT).and after i got over the excess of 'garruth', some of its rather bloody good.
― mark e, Friday, 23 March 2018 10:56 (six years ago) link
I really liked last years Occams Laser album.
― Siegbran, Friday, 23 March 2018 10:59 (six years ago) link
i only have Ascension by OL and its very much in the same groove as GosT with a love for over driven synth noise, and yeah, very enjoyable.

channel also has Everybody Wants To Rule The World playing in an empty shopping centre and Don't You (Forget About Me) playing in an empty shopping centre, among others

far out.. there's actually a subgenre of vaporwave called "mallsoft" that aims to recreate such atmospheres
― brimstead, Friday, 23 March 2018 20:23 (six years ago) link
ok, so its just the standard songs playing in an empty shopping mall (urgh, for a uk'r that very phrase ... ) ?sorry, but, i dont get it.yeah yeah, zombies etc.but ...

meanwhile GUNSHIP are back with new material and i love it .. hopefully there is a new album as i still listen to their debut on a regular basis.
― mark e, Friday, 23 March 2018 20:44 (six years ago) link
mallsoft in general makes more sense if you think of it as 'ambient' music or whatever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qut4OjmBS0

01. Welcome 0:0002. Lobby 4:0503. Elevator 8:1804. Restroom 12:1605. Abandoned 17:1706. Bookstore 21:5207. Escalator 26:4008. 2nd Floor 29:5409. Food Court 33:5910. Northwest Plaza 38:06
would buy an album with that track listing (hello john carpenter) !
as for the so called mallsoft genre .. nah.

blood music is back in action, and pushing the metal vs synthwave groove hard.the aforementioned GoST album followed up by the Hollywood Burns, and MASTER BOOT RECORD releases are now up for grabs.not totally sure re the MBR album as its very metal/vocals at times, but i may succumb.
― mark e, Sunday, 22 April 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
np: Replicant - The Reckoning. pretty good!
also zoned out to a whole afternoon of 'dungeon synth' which is a whole other thing but adjacent maybe?
― goole, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
link ? and WTF is "dungeon synth".sounds awful.in other news.
this is the best proper synthwave album i have heard in a long time :

Advisory Circle - be seeing you
― calstars, Sunday, 3 June 2018 02:09 (five years ago) link
dont have spotify, but isn't Advisory Circle Jon Brooks (aka King of Woolworths) ?
oh, and that bundle I linked to recently, turns out it has Richard X involvement.one of the albums is by Nina, and it has the Richard X produced track, Beyond Memory on it, which is very lovely electro-pop vs neon sunsets track.also, the latest facexhugger album, 'sci-fi violence' is a massive step up in sound/production values, so he clearly has learnt a few tricks over the last year.in fact, of what I have heard so far, (scandroid, gregorio franco, meteor, facexhugger, nina, cloud battalion), its a bloody cracking bundle, even better than the last one.and there is more to be unlocked should things go to plan.

also, Carpenter Brut and GOST are coming to a town near me later this year.I may have to get off my sofa to see this show.however, I suspect I will look like the taxi service for those in the moshpit.

looking forward to the forthcoming perturbator 2 volume retrospective release before he moves on from synthwave.that said, his 'new model' ep from last year was still in the same sonic world albeit with extra bass noise in the mix.

The Midnight's latest tour sold out a few 2000+ capacity venues, they seem to have surpassed their synthwave peers in commercial success. An interview where they talk about breaking out of the synthwave sandbox
