Thumbs up. I love this kind of stuff! :)

  

 

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Anyone know of similar groups? I'm hunting for other tracks of this genre.

That's very good, love 80's electronica and electronic music in general. Here's a band a bit more up to date, who would like to see maybe do a Star Wars experimental soundtrack (don't get confused, Williams is still god :))

The full soundtrack is very good. Plus a track they done called 'Midnight City' which if you see the video, it's like the kids have force powers! Lol

The 80's rule. One of my friends actually drove a Countach last year. His verdict? He'd wished he hadn't, and that all his memories of it had remained of that poster he had on his bedroom wall all those years ago. :(

Sex on wheels without doubt. I remember it in The Cannonball Run when Catherine Bach and the other chick were driving it! Hmm.....

sorry, should've put this in earlier

It's this kind of music that I listen to while brainstorming ideas for science fiction.

I want to go live in the 80s. Time machine, please.

This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

Try the big blue banner in my signature, I think it's in the same vein as what you're looking for.

I haven't played Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon yet, but I really hope the music in there is something like the track I posted. I've gotten that impression from the game's advertising.

RE: Neo-80s Electronica

Bill and Tedds adventure was on TV today, not really paying any notice of my what was on....until i noticed this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvTcGdyqoF0

Never herd of the song before but It took me back to my old Amiga demo days with the intro, as it really sits well with the video. I watched the rest of whole of that crap movie with facination, just incase i missed anything else.

Song is "Breakaway" by Big Pig if you are unaware. They released two albums at the latter end of the eighties, and although i have sourced that track now, the albums are very hard to find now (same problem with a few things ive been looking for).

I love this kind of music! For anyone who is looking for similar artists, her are a lot of the ones I listen too: Power Glove, Flashworx, Noir Deco, Miami Nights 1984, Com Truise, Futurecop!, Electric Youth, College, Kavinsky, Grum, Anoraak, and Tesla Boy.

RE: Neo-80s Electronica

Of corse you do. Sounds so much better without being compressed though, as it makes the old sterophnic sound feel like proper stereo then.

Kudos Nien Nunb. Will look em up now.
