Just a heads-up that 'Wastelands' by Protector 101 is Name Your Price until tomorrow. This was one my favorite releases of 2014. If you haven't given it a listen yet, I highly recommend you get your act together and do so! Really well-executed dark apocalyptic synth for a movie that you wish were made!

Here's an excellent synthwave album that I think has resided mostly under the radar. 'Horizons' by Duett is a wonderful example of light, upbeat synthwave. I received the tape today, but beware that I ordered this tape several months ago, so the delayed shipping was a big bummer. Anyway, check it out. Highly recommend!

If you're into synthwave and have not heard of Kung Fury yet, then it's quite possible you live under a rock.

The OST LP and 7" single are now up for pre-order for those interested! Features music by Betamaxx, Mitch Murder, Lost Years, and of course David Hasselhoff.

Second pressing of the Perturbator Dangerous Days vinyl LP now up on Blood Music for anyone interested - although the site appears to be taking a hammering as it's progressing at snail's pace...

Europ peeps go here:

Interesting that the prices are the same in Euros and dollars (!)

Here's another synthwave tape from DATAStream. I've posted his tapes here before. They usually sell out pretty quickly, so if it's your thing, then you may want to go ahead and grab one. Only 5 left of 15 total.

Polígono Hindú Astral is made up of Joni & Julio [50% of Antiguo Régimen] and has been quoted as being, "one of the best examples in Spain of the renewal of the kosmische sound". ~ Audionautas

Perhaps they are not getting as much of love in the English speaking world since they are headquartered in Spain.

They just released a new album in May of 2015, but there January release of this year was available on vinyl. It has grown on me over the last month or so and I just pulled the trigger on the vinyl.

Timecop1983's new album 'Reflections' us now up pre-order and available on digital/CD/Cassette. If you've heard Timecop1983's earlier projects (Childhood Memories/Journeys/Waves), then you know he is easily one of the best in the synthwave scene. If you're not grabbing this one, then I don't know what to do with you! Get it! :)
