Hi,
I'm a long time prog rock fan that started out in the mid 90s until I started getting into videogame soundtracks which where synth-based. Being a child of the 80s, I've always loved the 80s sound of cheesy synths, times when I would play videogames, or moments when you feel inside like smiling ear to ear. After going through different genres of music during 2003-2012, I discovered a "new" genre called synthwave or retronewwave. I was delighted and spent a good year 2017 to current digging up the best as now there is a glut of producers.
I've been posting on Facebook #DeleteFacebook and now am in FB jail for a while, so I'll post some of my favorite tribute videos that features some of the best tracks in that genre. These are usually the music with 80s movies spliced and presented in a montage.
Hope you all enjoy..
