Retrowave/synthwave/outrun has been my thing for years now, and this is one of the best, love it.

And heres another FM-84 - Running in the night, in case anyone missed one of the biggest songs of this 80s revival.
MY MAN! Finally found another synthwave fan on here.

Kalax, Timecop1983, and The Midnight (which I'm sure you've checked out) are also so good.

8 years later and things only got worse.

Pussy Riot - Putin will teach you how to love / Путин научит тебя любить Родину

Lyrics:
Spoiler
Show
$50 billion and a rainbow ray
Rodnina and Kabayeva will pass you the torch
They'll teach you to submit and cry in the camps
Fireworks for the bosses. Hail, Duce!

Sochi is blocked, Olympus is under surveillance
Special forces, weapons, crowds of cops
FSB — argument, Interior Ministry — Argument
On Channel 1 — applause

Putin will teach you to love the Motherland

In Russia, the spring can come suddenly
Greetings to the Messiah in the form of a volley from
Aurora, the prosecutor is determined to be rude
He needs resistance, not pretty eyes

An bird cage for protest, vodka, nesting doll
Jail for the Bolotnaya, drinks, caviar
The Constitution is in a noose, Vitishko is in jail
Stability, food packets, fence, watch tower

Putin will teach you to love the Motherland

They will turn off Dozhd's broadcast
The gay parade has been sent to the outhouse
A two-point bathroom is the priority
The verdict for Russia is jail for six years

Putin will teach you to love the Motherland
"The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn't have the weight of gender expectations." - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

In the context of the lyrics it means cutting in broken lines, so a cut right, then a cut left etc.. :-)

Ah ha, I have to admit I hadnt looked it up - but the video peaked my interest. Its pretty clear what its about just from the translated lyrics now I've actually looked them up, lol (and it conforms in a literal way with the video, which i wasnt expecting). And as someone that lives near Argentina I know exactly what its about.

PS: My 2nd fave in the album is Lugen

Seeing as I have not done a different one in a while I thought I would post this, she is actually a pretty good singer but it's the other one that makes the video.

Suzerain OST - I endorse both soundtrack and the game, I rarely see (or should I say hear) soundtrack so well fitting together with the gameplay - each othe the track name fit perfectly with the game events and decision you have to make (e.g. "Critical" played during the vote on changing the constitution, suspense was enormous... and I lost the vote):

I am currently watching the series "The Umbrella Academy" and they used Peter Schillig's Major Tom in their soundtrack. I never knew that the song was also released in English, I only ever knew the German original version. Hearing the English version was really interesting.

It's from the same era as 99 Luftballons, the translation of which you are no doubt familiar with. The English translations of both sound a bit awkward IMO, and I always preferred the originals.
