Favorite Synthwave Gastarbeiter 05/10/15 (Sun) 23:50:13 1d9417 No.38682

ITT: We talk about our favorite synthwave artists/songs

>Lazerhawk

It just feels like true 80's/90's movie tunes, it's got that vibe and progression that incites the images of old 80's films in your head

favorite song by him is easily Overdrive, from Redline

mostly becauseo f that sick fucking solo it makes my dick hard

>Starforce

Although the tracks on Ominversal Oscillations took a while to grow on me, they have a fantastic sense of melody. "Payload Specialist" and "Celestial Time Lapse" in particular are standout tracks.

>Cobra Copter

While I'm not that interested in his other releases, The Golden Age has some great material on it. I really like those little vibrato modulations he does.

>Timecop1983

Although a lot of the songs off Journey are basically indistinguishable, the album has a nice dreamy atmosphere to it. "Dreams" and "Lost in Your Eyes" have simple, catchy melodic leads, although I do think the vocal melodies aren't anything special.

>Palm Highway Chase

ARPNET is pretty damn good, although it was another grower for me. The title track has a frantic feeling that reminds me of the Ocean Palace from Chrono Trigger. "Invisible ARP" has a tune reminiscent of something that Japancakes would have come up with. "Arena" is probably my favorite, with a melody that wouldn't sound out of place in a classic space shooter.

Pretty much all these artists take me back to my childhood of watching old VHS tapes and playing NES games even though I'm le epic '90s kid xDDD, so they'll definitely have you covered on the nostalgic feels if that's what you're after.

>no Perturbator itt

I love these other bands, but nothing compares to Perturbator. Just a monster when it comes to synthwave, and if you haven't listened to Dangerous Days, you need to get on that shit and find yourself in Nocturne City, 2088.

Other greats:

>Makeup & Vanity Set

Go listen to Wilderness.

>Mega Drive

Great stuff, borders on chiptunes sometimes, which isn't really my thing, but it's never enough that it drowns out the rest.

>Tommy

Was a bit quiet for a while, back on the block with some new releases though

There are others, but starting off small. Gonna watch this thread with interest to see what you guys come up with.

A couple months ago there was another synthwave thread. One guy never got into the genre, but liked the songs we posted, so I compiled a list of the best new retro wave artist and saved it cos I was so proud:

Going from (in my opinion) best to not the best but still fuggin gud:

Listen to Kavinsky:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gXqfO2YPNs

https://soundcloud.com/deadcruiser

A lot of people would recommend Perturbator as well, but I never listened to him cos of his satanic image (pls don't judge). If you don't mind that, I heard this is one of his best works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vsf3zYppP4

https://soundcloud.com/perturbator

Com Truise is decent, though I'd say he's more chillwave w/ 80's synth elements rather than full on synthwave:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs_1EFmjkg

https://soundcloud.com/com-truise

Dynatron also has a decent name. He's a bit more spacey with his tunes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9L7HFWOsVw

https://soundcloud.com/dynatronsynth

The only decent New Retro Wave label I can think of is Rosso Corsa Records, which is actually owned my MN1984 and alot of the previously mentioned artists are signed to them, but you might find something I haven't:

https://soundcloud.com/rossocorsarecords

http://rossocorsarecords.com/

https://rossocorsarecords.bandcamp.com/

New Retro Wave is a youtube channel worthy of a subscription. They'll sometimes bring up exclusives from artists too:

https://www.youtube.com/user/NewRetroWave

https://soundcloud.com/newretrowave

Also, fashion style usually involves:

A varsity/baseball jacket

Maybe a baseball cap

Possibly shades

Kinda skinny jeans? Why not?

A sweetass 87' Corvette

And finally:

Play Hotline Miami

Play Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

Listen to both OST's

And FUCKING WATCH DRIVE

I feel like I saw a picture like that once upon a time, but I might just be thinking weird. What would be some good sub-genres to note? Outrun (Kavinsky, Power Glove, et al), Dark Synth (Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, etc.), Synthpop?

Hey guys, >>46991 here. Out of a random act of kindness, I decided to upload my entire synthwave collection. VHS Head got thrown into the mix, I think it's got an 80s vibe, but one of those video-collage type things. Your thoughts may vary.. Kavinsky will be uploaded on request, but you all should have those albums already. Also included is a FLAC version of NewRetroWave's Magnatron.

I believe he was part of the Rosso Corsa collective somewhere around 2011 judging from the blog entries on their site and in the comment sections. But no, no releases exist.

I think you could've messaged him directly back then, he seems to have had at least a myspace profile.

2011 was a pretty early time to start. Did you get there same year or earlier?

My first short experience with the genre was in 2011. Found a little track on Youtube (see my attachment). The artist had a few more tracks uploaded but there were no leads to the rest of the synthwave movement. Having no idea what to search for the interest faded. Previously I listened to a lot of geniune 80s synthpop artists. But this sound seeemed like fresh breath of air somehow.

The interest re-emerged after discovering more of the artists around the middle of 2012. Around the end of 2012 I was the most extatic. /v/ had daily Miami Hotline threads which would turn into neo80s threads, watched Drive alone and with /tv/, the sudden amount of musicians previously unknown kept me hungry for more.

Since then I grew to like a few specific artists and MPM was one of them. I can count on others because they still make music (for example Action Jackson). With MPM however it's a more sadder situation.

Since GosT is already pretty close to it, and Perturbator wants his new album more guitar focused, I wouldn't be surprised if that side of Synthwave ends up merging with Metal quite a bit.

Judge Bitch is a pretty great one, who no one talks about. Great layering, great sound and each song has a good sense of progression. My biggest complaint is that he/she tends to use direct samples from movies and the like quite often, and once or twice it really really falls flat (fucking Demolition Man, seriously?).

He absolutely is. Sadly he removed some of his good older songs from his Youtube channel, but if you're brave enough to go through some dodgy sites you can find them ripped. I attach one of them. I think it's better than that later remix.

The best synthwave music for me is still from Carpenter Brut. They are also amazing live, wish I could be at France to attend one of their shows.

>>53500

OGRE - 195 is not bad but like you mentioned, the track posted is one of the best, most of the music is a bit too ambient for my tastes.

Gastarbeiter 11/25/15 (Wed) 06:41:59 90177a No.58474

>>58472

No they don't. There's the hard-hitting stuff like Perturbator, Lazerhawk, and Carpenter Brut (the popular style, although I'm really not big on it), the more straightforward synthpop of Le Cassette, the synthfunk of SAIR, the vintage astronomy documentary soundtrack type of stuff like Starforce, the Jan Hammer worship of Action Jackson and Miami Nights 1984, among others. Overall, the "synthwave" genre is fun, catchy, and really a breath of fresh air.

I get bored with dancy stompy tunes but the slower, more soundtracky ones always get me excited, maybe because there's not really a lot of them. Same thing with vocals in the genre. I think that by skipping vocals many artists or even the genre in general lose possibly more mainstream appeal.

You failed to break up the harder stuff and the "Outrun" sub group. Lazerhawk definitely straddles the two but notables like Gost and Kavinsky are clearly belong in their respective groupings. What you drive to is not what John Carpenter movie soundtracks are made of.

Dan Terminus is good, if you can get behind his aesthetic, but it's not a must-listen. All of his stuff is pay what you want (AKA free) so I'd say check it out. The mixing is definitely a little low, though.

I'd at least check out Sexualizer before writing Perturb off, it's his only album that really has a different edge.
