Synthwave fans come in.

Video for "Fly for your Life" is just amazing.

Mad

... wow, awesome vid ... :thumbup

... found a quote by one of the band saying how the
synth can effectively communicate emotion, atmosphere,
a sense of place, and project imagery ...

... said that was a huge part of the attraction for him ...
say Fly for your Life is a good example of that ...

Sounds pretty...80s. Not that its a bad thing. Whats the difference between this and the stuff that carries an ax posted a while back? He called it 80s revival. (In the other music thread)

Ill try to find it.

Here it is... The Midnight. Not sure if it nuevo 80s, or just actual 80s.

Doesn't really care
Synthwave takes from 80's obviously. Tech Noir even has John Carpenter doing the monologue. Synthwave is kinda cyberpunk/80's/electronic mixed together if I had to describe it.


Found this later on them describing it.


"Gunship (stylised as GUNSHIP) is a British synthwave band formed in 2010 by Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway and later joined by drummer Alex Gingell. Gunship's music has been described as "influenced by the soundtracks of 80s film, television shows, video games & cartoons"[1] and "a neon soaked, late night, sonic getaway drive, dripping with luscious analog synthesizers, cinematic vocals and cyberpunk values, exploding from the front cover of a dusty plastic VHS case which has lain forgotten since 1984."
