Justice's DVNO video is a spot on love letter to 80s video and commerical nostalgia. It's absolutely brilliant how many styles they imitate in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDsLRQg_g4

Swimming Underground is Mary Woronov's autobiography that focuses for the most part on her time in Andy Warhol's inner circle. It's 70s Mod stuff, so kind of a precuror to the "Neon Underground" you're talking about which is more of an 80s thing. The earlier part of the book includes meeting Nico and the Velvet Underground which is probably what jogged my memory due to the thread title. One particular scene that sticks in my mind is when she is locked up an apartment with the other Mole People, making beaded necklaces and doing drugs and all that. For days. The uncomfortable feeling of sitting at Warhol's table at The Factory, fear of being tossed out into the daylight land of normality that is no longer familiar, etc. If you like Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting it might be for you. Hope this fits the scope of the thread!

This is shameless plugging, but after watching and listening to the recommendations in this thread, the game I worked on for Ludum Dare last weekend has a hefty streak of neon underground and retrofuture running through it, the main character especially.

You can find out more info on it here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rage-a-short-film/x/291174 Oh yeah, and I'm having a week long sale for all of my music on Bandcamp.

I just paused GTA V to take a phonecall, and I couldn't help but be entranced by the menu music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0h09RpeMSY It's hypnotic, and a bit out of place in the game. Can anyone recommend an artist that has a similar sound?

M.Ciaster posted:that'd be it, I guess? Everybody forgets Meat Puppet. The soundtrack was probably the most memorable thing about it and I think it fits in here pretty well. You can listen to it here, but I can't figure out how do download it at first glance: http://grooveshark.com/#!/profile/Meat+Puppet+Soundtrack/23183859 Other old stuff: Of course, that '90s game Sin that was TOTALLY eclipsed by Half-Life comes to mind. Also retro but MC900's "Falling Elevators." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqZeaxZz-f4 Ed: And maybe some of the feel in Tsukerman's Liquid Sky. He's just announced that he's doing a remake of it, or something. Not exactly clear if it's a reboot or just a 30-year anniversary edition or something.

If you like 80s/90s late night movies spliced together with an amazingly perfect Neon Underground soundtrack, give SKINEMAX a whirl: http://vimeo.com/29999445 Its sequel MEMOREX is more of the same (awesome), but more 90s Neon TV hedonism. Smash FM/TV, the guy(s) who put these together, also has put together an awesome 10-hour, Kurt Russell-themed music mix that is some of the best mash-up work I've heard..think The Avalanches (he? they? even sample them at one point). Link here: http://www.percussionlab.com/sets?list=tag&tag=sparkle%20motion If you love the Neon Underground aesthetic, you owe it to yourself to check out at Skinemax. You won't be disappointed.

Not sure that this 100% counts as fitting in the genre, but the other things posted reminded me heavily of the Urbance trailer, with the vibrant highlights in an otherwise drab/dark setting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrLdXY_lsy8 Also maybe the sdatcher soundtrack might count: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhL4VTOXsao

The FP is a bad, zero budget comedy homage to movies like Escape from L.A., only about underground DDR battles in rural Southern California. The aesthetic drifts all over the place but the soundtrack is pretty on point.

This is a tunnel connecting terminals B and C in Chicago's O'Hare aiport. There's cool ambient music playing too. It's like somebody was listening to Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" one day and went, "Hm..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbsONsWGAUs The place is terrible for delays, but that part undeniably owns.

I'm loving this thread so far, really cool input from everyone so far. I am a little lost where to draw the line between true 80's, cyberpunk and neonpunk (which is a great word to describe the aesthetic). I just watched Vamp and the colors were fantastic. I am looking forward to watching Beyond the Black Rainbow as I enjoyed The House of the Devil immensely despite a weak ending (which reminds me, does Robocop 2 with the neon glow in the dark graffiti advertising pink glowing "Nuke" count for something?) Can horror movies also breach the line between reality and the neon? From Beyond is an awesome movie by the same guy (Stuarts Gordon) who did Re-Animator which has familiar color aesthetics especially when opening the gateway to the so-named Beyond. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kENuvJ2MIA Hrm that wasn't quite how I remembered it, nevermind sorry. nihilistic_fish has a new favorite as of 04:07 on Jan 1, 2014 |
