The Synthwave Thread

naming Snowden probably put this thread on the NSA sniff list. Punks.

There's this video explaining the collaboration. Also, it's a pretty neat track. Playing in the background there.

That is one of the most random collaborations I ever heard of.

That's an odd collaboration... Don't want to dudge, but it seem more like slapping a 'scandalous' name to the track to achieve some cheap promotion and clickbate articles. Then again it IS Jean Michelle Jarre, a very well known artist in the synth genre... I really don't know what to think of it, the track is pretty sweet.

K guys, one more ad and I'm done, here you can listen to The Storm Is Coming - Anno Apparatus full album - https://soundcloud.com/annoapparatus/set...-apparatus This is our first full lenght demo album, something that took us a whole year to produce. Any feedback is welcome. Now I can finally rest for some time ^^

Darksynth made by this long-haired and bearded fellow: http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Mully/261010

Seems to be releasing a lot of stuff.

Hmm, his first album is coming out in just over a month. Also this track: 7 - This Means War (feat. Sylvain Coudret from Soilwork) - 13'16

Who is behind that Volkor record? Visuals and sounds don't seem like any newcomer.

[kadaver]

No clue. I've been trying to find out for a while now. He seems to be releasing independently, vinyl included, so it, indeed, doesn't seem like he's a newcomer! His artist info says he likes Carpenter Brut, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah. Definitely detect a hint of Carpenter Brut in that album teaser. His likes also include your label and artists on it. Except for Dan Terminus. For shame!

Volkor X - Masked Death

Found this on his soundcloud page:

"But who's hiding behind this gallium mask? Who's the mere mortal, the alter ego breathing life into the greatest synthetic Titan ever known? An important actor of the extreme music scene in France. An inveterate composer. An artist who wants to stay anonymous for fear that his creature would break free from him, as it is his inner manifestation, his avatar... The heart and soul of Volkor X."

Of course he's French...

[Blood Music]

Ha cool - the video teaser was well put together. Will look forward to hearing the album. There are several promising artists in this scene who can write a mean hook but can't put a track, let alone an album together. That is the defining factor for me.

[kadaver]

Same! Hopefully I'll have another synth artist to listen to.

Here's a Dynatron and Victor Love collab track for a game called VirtuaVerse:
