ITT: We talk about our favorite synthwave artists/songs
>Lazerhawk
It just feels like true 80's/90's movie tunes, it's got that vibe and progression that incites the images of old 80's films in your head
favorite song by him is easily Overdrive, from Redline
mostly becauseo f that sick fucking solo it makes my dick hard

New ventures outside of the typical space/horror/dreamwave music really give me hope the genre probably isn't as wasted as the surface level stuff suggests. Anons, please share tracks that borrow from the 80s rather than from synthwave itself.

Can someone help me identify what genre this song belongs to? I really like this track and I hope to find more just like it. It seems kind of synthy so I'm posting it here but I don't quite know what it is.

Never heard about it before. I've been listening to his tracks on youtube and as you say, it's fucking excellent. I wish someone would rip his track and make a clean compilation of it so I can listen to it when I'm not in front of the computer.

I've been playing internet detective and apparently the guy has depression and think his music is shit compared to others so why bother.
I guess I'll keep listening to my shitty youtube to mp3 rip. It's really a pity because his stuff is really good, very atmospheric, there's more to it than "dude the 80s lmao", you can feel he's not trying.

Does anybody have the tracklist for this collection? Some digging yielded this:
>Just saving some spots 0:00 SurgeryHead - The Dead 3:29 7:54 11:28 17:27 23:53 REZNYCK - Chevrolexomyl 27:36 REZNYCK - Ebolada 31:48 Invsble City - Johnny 35:25 Invsble City - Neon Crusader 38:59 Invsble City - Cyber Chris† 42:49 Invsble City - Solar Warden 46:12 Invsble City - Bitten 49:38 DAKARIUS - Cityscape Gone 55:57 DAKARIUS - Night of the Sociopatch
But I wanted to know if anyone who is/was in his discord got the title for all of them, especially the one that starts at 7:54.

Does anyone else feel music that's produced more like an 80s hit doesn't really sound like synthwave? This one packs a good punch but I couldn't really list it next to Flash Arnold or Sellorekt or even Duett.

Synthwave is largely a hybrid of '80s-style music with more modern forms of dance music. The more dystopian or cyberpunk-inspired synthwave music strikes me as a lot more contemporary in feeling, and personally I'm not really into that. I like the prettier, more nostalgic-sounding music or stuff in the more authentic style like you posted. That one sounds like it's inspired by Stock Aitken Waterman productions from the mid to late '80s, and I'm glad that people are learning to appreciate that style considering how much flak it's been given over the years.
Link related might be a pretty modern-sounding track, but those optimistic major-key arpeggios remind me a bit of the ones Loverboy used in "Working for the Weekend" back in 1981.

What's this style of synthwave called? I like the fast intense synthwave kind but this reminds me the most of 80's radio music.

Sounds like italo disco and HiNRG with some outrun styled leads. Don't think there's a subgenre in synthwave though.

Then you need to check out Vincenzo Salvia, A literal italian who writes italo disco for the synthwave era.

Manolis totally knows how to make a track super-sensual. He's truly a gem of the scene.

So they actually did finish the documentary. Looks pretty sweet, and it definitely sounds like there are some conflicting opinions given in the interviews. Honestly, with the production going very low key around the end of 2016 I didn't expect them to finish the doc at all. There are still posts in this thread that I made about the fundraiser over 3 years ago.

Just finished watching the documentary. It genuinely feels nice to see all the artists from around the globe give their take on the scene and the music as it is and talk about the influences. Most of them I only know from their handles on soundcloud or youtube titles so seeing them have an unassuming physical shape is quite a wonder. My personal surprise is MPM, I didn't think he would do it, his personna already tried to escape the internet before a few times, so him voicing out something seemed almost out of fantasy world.
John Carpenter's narration is the bomb and, along with the synthrider scenes, gives an air of quality that the interviews by themselves don't really carry often enough. The synthrider also helps the documentary to attain a cinematic charm that the soundtrack roots of the genre echo.
What I'm not happy is the structure of the documentary, the way it tries to make up for the lack of continuity makes some of the interviews feel forced to me. Said progresion is also hurt by ocassional odd pacing in the edit.
Some of the information, mostly in the second half of the doc, is very surface level and unlikely to educate anyone. I think it was an error to try and showcase history of electronic music through the lens of the artists when it sounds like they didn't really talk about that in depth at all.
Lastly, though the interviews had to be edited down, the rest of the material could really appear in some other form. I'm certain each subject could get a separate video issued featuring just them as it's more than likely that more stuff was shot or interview taken.
