An Intensive Arcade Dream! Have you ever wanted to get an album that is is essentially a great mix between a video game soundtrack and a cool synthwave dive? Well, here it is.

The unmistakable sound of synthwave coming in from Belarus One of the very first suggestions that are often given to new listeners of synthwave is to check out "Retro Rangers", I hear this often and in this review I wanted to share in my input on this. Actually not only to agree with this statement, but also to provoke people who have listened to it before to grab the record for one more time. It's well worth it! Sweet, sweet love for the Rangers The unmistakable emotion for anyone listening for the first time this album will most certainly be "Wow, this must be it!".

I don’t know if Fury Weekend actual...

One of the reasons why I am writing this review right now is because for a very long time I have been rewinding and listening the disc over and over again. In cases like this one sometimes it is hard to write something when there are just some many words that come in my mind. So let me try to walk you through the cosmic chaos.

In terms of composition and feeling there are some points which I find important and I feel th...
