Listening to this playlist while feeling *extremely* low mentally on a late Sunday night somehow makes me feel important and meaningful to this world as a part of humanity. It doesn't make me feel small and irrelevant, which is what my dark thoughts have me almost believing. Therefore, if I'm big and important to the world, I should also be big and important to myself. The biggest trap is losing us to our own selves. Human minds are the biggest weapon and that's rarely a good thing, especially when it comes to mental health... I'm glad this genre, and particularly, this playlist exists.
I love that new feature that shows on the bar what song is on and how much of it is left!!! So awesome someone implemented that! Big thank you to whoever did this
I have been listening to this at least once a week for the past 3 years as I did my degree, so good to burn the night study hours too. In my final week, thanks Astral Throb for your efforts!
@nigling Isn't SpaceX's reusable boosters innovative? I mean, that concept was once considered impossible. It makes space travel a lot cheaper. But yeah, the government seems to be only interested in the future of warfare... hundreds of billions of dollar for killing and supposedly pride... so wasteful
As I am writing this comment, the Japanese rain is falling so heavy in our garden of white stones, me drunk in wine, feeling the mood of the music. This is a beautiful experience. Peace to you all beautiful people.
I've listened it 4 years ago, and now listening again after 4 years. Oh my god. How fast the time goes by. Jobs, girls, friends, purpose in life. Decaying much faster, but still fight
I love 'Glitch'. Although the mix was only uploaded 2 years ago, there are so many memories attached to it. I was a lonely teenager from a small town, filled with depression and hate against a cruel world I hardly knew. I was just getting into dark synth, randomly discovered some random tracks on RU-vid and then, one dark and stormy night, I discovered Glitch. After listening to the first 5 minutes of it I suddenly had a feeling I never had before. I felt hope, I felt love and fulfillment; I felt like the nameless hero of a dark tale, strolling through the back alleys of a neon-lit dystopian future. Only then I realized that all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. I didn't die this night, but maybe a part of me did, and as I woke up the next sunny morning I wasn't the same human as before. And now, two years later, I finally finished school, got a girlfriend and am grateful for all those small, joyful moments which weren't lost in time yet. And to all you people out there who are struggling with school, parents or life itself, never give up! There will be a moment in time in which you will see attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion and C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. And you will wake up and know that the rain stopped pouring down on you and you woke up to a new dawn full of hope and love. And now go out there and live life to it's fullest, it is too short to just stare at holograms. Megacity 1 is waiting for you!
Sometimes our travels brings us to forks in the road. I'm bringing a fork to you.... Jordan Peterson. Look him up here on YT. You either will or you won't, but you won't be the same afterwards, for better or worse.
this makes me want to binge watch all the 80's fantasy movies..... labyrinth, neverending story, ghost busters, legend etc....... it makes me want to relive those particular moments of my childhood when everything was still surreal and mysterious. fun yet frightening. music really is a time machine.
Здравствуйте 👋 Отклик души и сердца на вашу музыку ❤️. Настолько созвучно с образами другой реальности в моей жизни ✨️. Ваша музыка, это триггер на изменение состояния сознания 😄 Мы с вами как буд-то из одних миров. Благодарю 💖 💖 💖 Благодарю 💖 💖 💖 Благодарю 💖 💖 💖
Read your comment and realised just how massive the difference would be when I heard the background kick in. The atmosphere on this is amazing. Fuck headphones, you need to immerse yourself. Pretty sure it qualifies as a drug.
@@gigimuschi7466 I have a sound blaster X ae-5 in my pc and tweaking the sound settings to get it to sound right did the trick, I'm pretty sure it would sound like the audio version of an acid trip even without the stereo headphones
Was sitting in an ice cold bath listening to this while trying to detox and deal with caffiene and kratom withdrawal at the same time. This beautiful gem got me thru. Day 2 was the worst. Sat in front of my speaker in tears licking up every beautiful little drop of dopamine this gave me.
This is FRESH! As Synthwave becomes more and more filled with "more of the same" stuff it gets harder and harder to find true gems. Thank you for the curation of only amazing tunes :)
I've listened to a lot of Astral Throb and this one is by far one of the best ones, clean sound, no lyrics, just pure nostalgia-style synthwave. Thank you!
This is the perfect soundtrack to play while reading Neuromancer. "A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his dreams, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colourless void... The Sprawl was a long, strange way home now over the Pacific, and he was no Console Man, no cyberspace cowboy. Just another hustler, trying to make it through. But the dreams came on in the Japanese night like livewire voodoo, and he'd cry for it, cry in his sleep, and wake alone in the dark, curled in his capsule in some coffin hotel, hands clawed into the bedslab, temper foam bunched between his fingers, trying to reach the console that wasn't there. "
I mainly listen to rap/instrumental or some flow type of song/beat but this type of music has everything I'm specifically looking for in music! Favorite Genre of music by far & thats a understatement!
I spent 4 hours and stayed up till 2am drawing a face I would have never drawn without this music, I swear, I still look back on that drawing and I'm like how tf did I do that
This and fantasy-type-fairy-music are the only two types of music that can make me forget everything around me and just enter my mind on a super creative level
Btw, I've got a synthwave song I've done recently at my profile, would really appreciate if you'd check it out, no pressure :) It's called Golden Electron
And still the clear light shines eternal through the fractal matrix of infinite resonance, beyond that which is and that which is not, only by seeing that it sees.
I don't know if you'll ever read this but this is my favorite playlist ever, I study with it almost every day, it's been around a year now since I first heard it, as thanks I'll buy some merch
This vid is in my faves so that i can return to it when feeling particularly moody. Reminds me of how the optimism many felt a couple of decades ago festered into a thick blanket of melancholy.
Something about this mix just makes seem like the perfect soundtrack overlay to videos of Riyadh's skyline, especially at night. Anyone interested just search Riyadh 4k footage and see what you think.
I don't usually write comments but this is an exceptionally great mix. I love that I can just throw it on and let it loop. Props on finding and compiling these tracks. I look forward to more compilations to come.
Same here! I don't like most music that exists, but these synthwave mixes and other similar mixes like melodic techno/dubstep ones are so addictive... I can't imagine how awful it would be if there was no melodic techno/dubstep/synthwave and similar genres -- pretty much anything melodic with a beautiful and distinctive melody and a nice beat.
instead of it reminding me of something else, it makes me dream and imagine the 2040's where this music is super popular and there's a whole sub-culture of cyberpunk night life.
00:02 jam feels like the biggest plot twist have been reveled and feels you are going through many scenarios in frication of second and dots have been connected. Yes I do love to live in this kind of world in daily basis.
Is it just me, or does anybody else imagine movie type visuals to go along with these mixes? Like an Interstella 5555 kind of thing, but more cyberpunk. You can't tell me the song at 17:53 isn't an epic villain's theme.
@@AndrewWooldridge im sure that more 80s elements will reach mainstream clothing and music in a few years, but this kind of music will never find their way into mainstream culture.
Media rarely makes me cry if ever, but I recently got into the cyberpunk genre by watching blade runner / ghost in the shell and this mix really evoked some feelings inside me that I can hardly describe. Coupled with the fact that I’m going though some stressful stuff in real life since I am at a point where I need to decide what I should do with my future, I feel kinda weird, emotionally numb if I would say so, or confused, I really don’t know. Damn.. why is life so beautiful but with seemingly no meaning? I am not a believer in god, as we are thought by the Bible, but I hope there is something out there, something that would give life meaning.. Sorry for the random spurt of thoughts, but I really needed to output my feelings
Humans are naught but a collection of experiences and memories. You, existing in this universe, are in a way the universe experiencing itself. You were made of the things that stars and planets were made of, reconstructed over billions of years of fusion and universal processes pulling us together. Billions of years from now, you will again become part of the universe and return to the ground, inert. They say that as astronomers and scientists become more familiar with the intricacy of it all, they begin to believe fiercely that something must exist beyond us; such is the beauty of the universe and of existence. The beauty of life is that whatever we choose to be our purpose can be our meaning. Nothing we do might matter on a billion year time-scale, but to enrich your experience and the experiences of those who will come after is to be human. A proverb for you: "Society grows great when men plant trees that they know they will never sit under." A little tangential, but maybe it'll spark something.
One day I woke up and A Synthwave was talking to me on a deeper level...connection was established. And I don't remember what was before then. Seems as if the world before Synthwave did not exist.
It's 10:00 pm, you're a long way from home, the nightsky is blanketed by hints of stars submerged in a deep cobalt blue sky, lit by a fervently cool pale moon.. tones of petrol ignite and infuse with the cold brisk air.. your guage is full.. you check your rear views one last time, take a look ahead at the barren road nestled in the canopy of peppered thickets.. you shift, throttle, *glitch* and ride..
The song from the minute 24 Make me feel in love with no one in particular, I love that feeling, but at the same time I wish someone hearing this songs whit me.
I always have this playing in the background as I work but I’ve just watched blade runner and finally understand why she has strange eyes - she’s a replicant!
