There are a lot of influences in this one. Badalamenti, Jarre and Vangelis are obvious I guess, but I think that you can trace a bit of Human League in there as well.
Great album and great cover art! Are we mad over a boob?! 😂 Maybe not, but she’s a hero fighting a villain and she has battle damage, it fits the title. The title and art also fit with the music. Upbeat, heroic synthwave that tells the hero’s journey. I have quite a few favorites but I like everything here. I’m going to pick something different than the others even though I could pick their favorites too. Dionysus Virus
Why this isn't already on vinyl is a mystery to me... RISE OF NEON is an excellent set of tunes. It's a great listen for anyone who's fallen in love with the genre, and the perfect "starter pack" for those who want to know what Synthwave is all about. mm_2020
