Crockett Wow! Your music is amazing. It has a unique deep feeling to it. Really transports the mind and spirit. Love it. Been listening to it on my delivery route for years.
So, weird thing is, my first name is Crockett, and the album art is my hometown, I was born in HK, and I made synth music in HKIS and kept it saved in one of the old school PCs. How the heck..? Dude did you just like-- This is super weird
Sorry I'm late to the party I've been.... Returning tapes. This album is absolutely what this genre is about, and I love to see more bands embrace the roots of the music. Very nice.
Cool white suit, white shoes with no socks, pastel coloured shirt, big shades, black Daytona Spyder or white Testarossa...and no speed limits on the street towards the sunset!
I must say that I adore the use of background ambient noises. Very Cinematic and breaking the border of a clean and only music album to create a more atmospheric musical adventure. Very experimental. Truly a good listen for sure.
Well put. Ambient atmospheric music is so underrated these days. I often go out for a 2am coffee-run and love cruising the dark, quiet streets with this kinda stuff.
This is awesome on so many levels. For one, it's the sound of rain-slicked neon city backstreets and nightclubs pulsing with swelling synth magic. But it's also the sound of a cool November night in a small midwestern town, 1984. The shadows dance off of the sides of suburban houses, illuminated by the lights that you and your closest friends mounted on your bikes to explore the streets after the witching hour. Just marvelous all around.
Man, I'm high af so I apologize for the potentially weird comment. I'm just recently finding out about this retrowave genre. I must say I've never been happier about finding a new genre of music (Progressive Rock is a close second). I'm a science-fiction writer and nothing is better than listening to this stuff while I think and/or write. This track is especially inspiring. 10 stars m8 **********
Intro is epic. I can picture a 66 year old retired Sonny on the sailboat in Biscayne Bay . He's staring out into the twilight thinking about the old times, remembering Martin Castillo, remembering Gina Calabrese, Zito and Switek and especially his partner and best friend Rico Tubbs. Why this sudden surge of memories? The Sinaloa Cartel has approached him and offered him millions as a consultant regarding undercover operations in Miami-Dade County. He's old, he's tired, he's fighting prostate cancer and he doesn't know if he'll be around much longer. All he has in this world is his son and he would like to leave him better off than he is. So does he accept their offer? And if does, does he betray the badge or the Cartel?
Sonny would never betray the badge! Maybe he works as a double agent, leading them on and getting them busted at the last moment in a climactic action-packed ending! *Queue intense Jan Hammer synth music*
Another strong effort after the awesome first album. More atmospheric sound through the record. Some great melodies and arrangments with memorable synths hooks and harmonies. To all the retrowave music style lovers!
This is quickly becoming one of my listen-again-and-again favourites for work. "City of Ghosts" is really doing it for me. Guilt is setting in, so I'll prob. have to buy soon :D
This Album is a Murdererrerererererere... Brah those basslines & synths .. I'm dead. Thank you NRW for sharing. My life and points of view had just shifted. Props
Facts. Thanks to big artists who have integrated synth music and shows and movies like Drive and Stranger Things, I highly doubt this genre is going away and it's evolving too. I mean this has such an 80s vibe, but it's still of 2016 release with modern twists here and there.
It died 25 years ago. New Retro Wave shoved a steel spike in its rectum and launched it into the stratosphere. It's been electrified with millions of lightning strikes and is now equal in power to a thousand suns.
