Welcome to The Synthwave Primer - Episode 5.

In this week's episode we're taking a breather and enjoying some instrumental tracks, for an episode I call Retrowave..

Inspired by synth heavy instrumentals like those of Composer/Director John Carpenter, and also more modern electronic music, Retrowave is that pure, distilled nostalgia, without having to worry about "did I hear those lyrics right?" or misinterpreting what is trying to be conveyed. It's the raw emotional power of music.

Next episode we take a look at movie soundtracks, both real and imagined.
