Carpenter Brut, Dance of the Dead, Lazerhawk, Magic Sword and Dynatron are among my favorites. They all do something a little different with the sound so that it's not just "durr it's the '80s!"

Stuff like Mega Drive, Gost, and Dan Terminus are okay - they have individual songs I like but their output sounds nearly alike from album to album. I listened to Gost's Behemoth twice and just wasn't interested in hearing it again because it really sounded like he heard Carpenter Brut's EP2 and said "hey I can do that too."

Since it's the spooky month, does anyone have any recs for retrowave/horrorsynth that sounds like it's straight out of a 70s/80s horror flick? Lookin for those John Carpenter or Goblin vibes, or anything that's a bit spookier than typical retrowave.

The directors of the Turbo Killer video have a Kickstarter project to make a 30-minute "sequel" film (with music by CB of course):

Just realized no one mentioned Lazerhawk's new album, Dreamrider, came out recently.

https://lazerhawk.bandcamp.com/album/dreamrider

It's really slow and mellow compared to his previous releases.

Great stuff, I'm digging this Volkor X! That style of synthwave is my fav, the Laserhawk, Carpenter Brut, kind of of intense at times synthwave. The laidback stuff is cool too though.

Yeah, that's why I like it. Reminds me of Lazerhawk or Dan Terminus with some Dance With the Dead guitar work.

For once, a "Recommended for you" Youtube video gave me something good.

OST for a mobile game, believe it or not.

It's wierd cause so much of the genre is so samey, but the stuff that stands out just hooks me.

Has anyone mentioned OGRE in the thread yet? He's the artist who got me into the genre. https://ogresound.bandcamp.com/album/194

195 was among the first of the non-CB/Perturbator dance-inspired stuff that I heard in the genre and it truly does sound like a soundtrack for an 80's action sci-fi film that never got made.

The All Hallows' album is cool too.

You get used to that. I might have been desensitized by the time I found it because almost every other show I checked out had 15+ minutes of generic drivel in between songs, making it a refreshing change to hear someone that at the very least still had some enthusiasm

I like the Beyond Synth guy and his interviews.

I can't stop listening to this: https://lazerpunk.bandcamp.com/track/black-lambo

My outrun track was put up on NewRetroWave last week! Pretty drat surreal seeing something I made get the Bateman seal of approval(I think it's a fake one, but whatever). Pretty jazzed about it.
