Got my cd copy of Dangerous Days week ago, sweet release. Too bad I missed the limited edition :argh:
Carpenter Brut is the definite poo poo, waiting for ep3
And speaking of eps, did Power Glove ever said anything about potential new release? There were some single tracks done and released on YT, but no word about ep #2.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but Unit Black Flight is a pretty great project, even more carpenter-ish than others, in a minimal dark analog way. The linked album is a collection of unreleased stuff, but there were two vinyls released on Viewlexx. Def worth checking out

Just discovered that Tracks From Trailer will be re-released on tape: http://sarlaccproductions.bandcamp.com/album/tracks-from-the-trailer

Definitely going to buy the cd. This poo poo is just too good.

In other news, MegaDrive rereleased his Hardwired album, and then released a separate 4-track EP with remixes from Perturbator, Gost and Dynatron.

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.

Apparently whoever is in charge of Blood Music decided to release it a little earlier to prevent leaks from earlier timezones. So now I gotta wait for my package from Finland, that digibook posted on FB looks sweet.

Listened to the first half and gotta say it's way more interesting and involving than Dangerous Days. Less Carpenter Brut-ish "brutality", more melodies.

Just yesterday I've discovered Damokles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK4_MDtCizE

The track above sounds a tiiiny bit like Kombi (I doubt he heard of them, being a band from behind the iron courtain), but the whole album has tracks that sound nearly like tributes to OMD. The only stinker is the Star Gazer, which has really bad vocal work.

https://future80s.bandcamp.com/album/ozone-surfing

Also, Echosoft's self-titled EP is really nice if not groundbreaking:
