the gen y people born in the 80s were too young to properly experience the decade. i was a couple months old when the berlin wall fell

I'm 1989 and most of the music I remember hearing as a child was from my parents' collections before, you know, parenthood took all their money for new stuff away.

So I watched a lot of movies and heard a lot of music that wasn't exactly contemporary by the time I was forming memories. The earliest memory I have of a song mind-loving me in a good way was Kraftwerk - The Robots. My dad was stationed in Germany, brough home a German vinyl of The Man Machine and that was the kind of poo poo I grew up on.

I grew up with a Korg M1 in the house too, so those low grade beep boop computery synth patches was the kind of stuff I messed around with.

So you know, this genre tickles the childhood nostalgia thing, but guys like Carpenter Brut and Pertubator actually seem interested in growing the sound, it's not pure nostalgia revelling, but rather a recognition that unlike rock and roll, the possibilities of that kind of music was not fully explored by the time it fell out of fashion.

trust me, I'm a cat.

Same, except add to Kraftwerk stuff like Tangerine Dream, obligatory Jarre, Oldfield, Vangelis etc. Later I started to slowly get into demoscene music, which was made by people influenced by contemporary dance and techno, but also being raised on chiptune melodies. It's cool and good that after initial surge of synthwave imitating Moroder we have a whole palette of melodic synth muzak. I'm not personally a fan of Perturbator's new sound (kinda hoped he would go back to Night Driving Avenger/Nocturne City-era), but I love Dynatron's epic sci-fi soundtrack feel, Lachi James AOR style or Dan Terminus' bizzareness.

Now I'm listening to ActRazer's "Classics" and it's so drat good.

The worst part is the first couple times wasn't bad so I have to give a few earlier songs a pass but oh yeah, there is a swath of copies of these now.

Also I too cry foul on why there's always a Ferrari. If they have to have an 80s car, they should go with a Corvette.

The main three I listen to don't really do that. Carpenter Brut, Dance With The Dead, Pertubator. Sometimes I listen to West Side Lane and the Drive soundtrack but I'm not terribly adventurous. I'm mostly letting good poo poo bubble up because I don't want to accidentally listen to something that retroactively poisons the stuff i like.

I give Lazerhawk a pass, since Redline was literally themed off car racing.

And Lazyhawks is good.

Besides, everyone knows the 80s car is the Camero.

This was one of the specific tracks I was thinking of as "did it first, gets a pass."

This song also gets a pass for sporting a Delorean instead of another Goddamn Ferrari and in general owning: https://soundcloud.com/grass-factory-records/red-marker-dmc-12-gauge-duorama-edit

Serious question here.

I'm on a Facebook group about new retro artists and designers and almost 90% of the work there is that cyan and magenta triangles, classical sculpture, a car like a Ferrari Testarossa, a Lambo Countach, or a Delorean and/or gridlines and chromed out 3D-text. It smacks of a lack of creativity. I think some people on that group recognize that and will begin criticizing lazy logos and such.

One of the things that make guys like Perturbator is that they do stuff outside their boundaries very often. "Sexualizer" is way different from from the electronic darkness that's "I Am The Night" and you have stuff like slow and sublime "Last Kiss" off "Dangerous Days", which really sounds like it should be used for the closing scene of a movie, or "Desire" off "IATN", which are different beasts from say the high energy of "Future Club" or "Retrogenesis" or "Raining Steel", the mystery of "Eclipse" or the thundering bass of "Raw Power".

That said sometimes the music exceeds the lame cover pictures. A few like Flash Arnold have a sense of humor about the cover images but a lot of them I think either get an artist friend to do it, etc. And if you tell any artist "make me an 80s album cover" and let them listen, they're probably going to come up with that same thing without realizing how much it's been done to death.

Don't judge a song by a cover has lead me to some good gems.

Can I ask ya somethin', Padre? When I was kickin' your ass back there... you get a little wood?

Carpenter Brut, Dance of the Dead, Lazerhawk, Magic Sword and Dynatron are among my favorites. They all do something a little different with the sound so that it's not just "durr it's the '80s!"

Stuff like Mega Drive, Gost, and Dan Terminus are okay - they have individual songs I like but their output sounds nearly alike from album to album. I listened to Gost's Behemoth twice and just wasn't interested in hearing it again because it really sounded like he heard Carpenter Brut's EP2 and said "hey I can do that too."

Yeah, I probably should have. Perturbator's collaborations with other artists are pretty good. I think "Sexualizer" is probably sounds a lot different from his other work because he's bringing Flash Arnold and Tommy '86 in to smoove things out.

I forgot Gunship, too. I really like them, but I guess them more with their videography than their albums, because they got some awesome videos.
