The Synthwave Thread • Page 9

what are some essential albums of this genre for someone relatively new to it? I've been digging into Japanese music the last few months and I've really enjoyed the few 80's synthwave and darkwave-type stuff I've heard, but still largely unfamiliar. I like Chromatics, Tycho, Tangerine Dream... (idk if you'd call those artists synthwave but yeah)

 

I’d say a landmark album for the newer wave of this music is FM-84’s “Atlas”

The Midnight is probably the biggest act in the genre, and imo their best album is “Monsters”
