The SYNTHWAVE Thread


Recommended Posts

Quote

Blood Music is extremely pleased to close the darksynth pentacle by presenting to its roster – Tommy '86!
One of the first ten producers within the synthwave scene (his first EP released in 2011), Tommy has become well-known for his high-quality, pulsating, Italo Disco sounds.
Upon entering the writing stages for his third album, Tommy experimented with distortion to see where it would take him. And, the experimentation took on a life of its own, leading him to lands far beyond any of his previous works. Surpassing all clones within the quickly rising darksynth scene, Tommy has churned out one of the best darksynth entries to date - “Transhumanism.”
Combining pulsating, distorted leads that spiral and expand over jagged bass lines that cut like a knife – this is equal parts Dan Terminus hyperactivity with Perturbator's slow, crawling meditations upon rising motifs. With extra production assistance by Dynatron and special appearances by a couple friends, this is headed towards becoming the surprise retrosynth sleeper hit of the year.
“Transhumanism” is the kind of work that is very hard to premiere a 'hit song' from, as it builds through winding themes. But one track will have to do. Here is track #10 – “The Shutdown of Humanity.”

I've been hoping this would happen ever since the album dropped, if you haven't listened to it yet do yourself a favor: https://fm84.bandcamp.com/

 

and a youtube link, if anyone prefers them:

Just giving the FM-84 album a go now - it's one of the best synthwave records I've heard in a good long while. 

I'm definitely going to grab the LP when it goes live - in case I miss it, could someone post here when it goes up?

I'm sure it'll be posted here, but if you want I can also drop you a PM just in case

I held off on buying Robert Parker's Crystal City LP, then immediately regretted missing out after it sold out. If anyone else was as dumb as me, you're in luck, he just put up a repress of 50 copies: http://robertparkerofficial.bandcamp.com/album/crystal-city-12-vinyl-repress-limited-edition-50-copies

 

Full stream up there as well.

from Blood Music's FB:

 

Gost "Non Paradisi" [2016]

Pre-order: early August, 2016
Release: September 30th, 2016

Artwork: Førtifem

The lord of slasherwave returns with his most sinister work to date. GosT "Non Paradisi" is a bleak and progressive descent into the heart of spiritual darkness. Following on the heels of GosT's explosive debut album, "Non Paradisi" is a loose musical adaptation of John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," concerning Lucifer's fall from Heaven and ensuing ascent from the Lake of Fire.

Using the same trademark buzzsaw basslines in conjunction with ominous atmospheres that spiral and twist deep beyond the gates of Hell, this is far-and-away GosT's masterwork and one of the best entries into the 'retrosynth' genre thus far.

The expansive album artwork seamlessly transports the figure of Baalberith into the universe of the original "Paradise Lost" engravings by Gustave Doré.

1. Commencement
2. Nascency
3. Aggrandizement (feat. Bitchcraft)
4. Lake of Fire
5. Supreme (feat. Hayley Stewart)
6. 4th
7. Arise (feat. Kriistal Ann)
8. Maleficarum
9. Unum Infernum
10. I Am Abaddon

Label: Blood Music
