Scandroid and Dance With the Dead are my two favourite synth artists. Klayton (the dude behind Scandroid) is a legend in general as well.

When I saw the title of the video, I was half-expecting a meme.

This is, however, a genuine song that was made. I believe it was part of a promotion for the Yakuza Series.

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
The Cranberries - Empty

She had one of the prettiest voices I've ever known

...and the daffodils look lovely today...

[A Thing]

You're a dream to me.

Wish I had found their music earlier. Only started listening a month or two ago. Rest in Peace Dolores.

[SalmonGod]

It's bitterly poetic that The Cranberries just recently released a retrospective album of mostly acoustic singles.


Anyway... went browsing around Youtube suggestions related to Scandroid, and rather like this one.

Mega Drive - 198XAD

Tastes good

EDIT: I can feel the grape overtaking me. It is a good wine.

[Reelya]

This was on the radio and I love it heh
Joan Jett - I Hate Myself For Loving You

Reminded me about one of my favorite 80s rock videos, Zodiac Mindwarp, Prime Mover.

Childrens choir covers Crystal Castles and it's pretty goddamn amazing

A friend and I went on a tear looking for all the synthwave we could a year or two ago. Been listening to the same 14 hour playlist daily ever since

Other than that I've really been in to this Polish? DJ Zamilska. (Although I guess she doesn't like to be called a DJ and doesn't think she makes techno.) She did part of the soundtrack for the game Ruiner, and I've been grooving on the rest of her tracks since. She's somewhere between trance and industrial, about a 50/50 split I'd say, sprinkled with Hindu and Muslim bits, backed up with some really hard beats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P72CbnegXi4

NewRetroWave is what I've been browsing

Daniel Deluxe is another that grabbed my attention.  And Lazerhawk I've known about for a long time, thanks to Kung Fury

Really digging Carpenter Brut
... REALLY digging Carpenter Brut.  May be my favorite so far out of this subgenre.

[Jopax]

Brut is on a whole different level imo, while the others play around with retro and produce good sound he sorta elevates it beyond the retro schtick into this wierd cyberpunky thing that's too damn good.

I suggest you check out the Hotline Miami and Furi soundtracks since he did thos and it's very much recognizeable that it's his style.

On a more classical retro note FM84 is pretty cool while Tycho has more of a chill approach.

Might wanna look into Perturbator. I think there are uploads of his albums on Blood Music youtube channel.

[SalmonGod]

Yeah, I'm liking Perturbator, too.  A little less sophisticated and varied than Carpenter Brut, based on 20 minutes worth of listening (Edit:  Nevermind... went from first album to most recent and there is massive improvement there).  But they both have the style that I find most satisfying in this genre.

Carpenter Brut is amazing. His Dust remix from Hotline Miami 1 isn’t just good, it’s brilliant.

In fact, almost all the artists on the HLM1 sound track are great. That was what really started me on synthwave. I was like “what are these  enchanting sounds and how do I get more of them in me.”
