This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?
To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.
Rules:
Standard GZD rules apply here
No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.
By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.
No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.
Popular or classical, western or non-western, communist or even anti-communist, feel free to mention any and all kinds of music here.
Mega Drive - 198X AD, probably the greatest darksynth/synthwave album to date.
I was literally listening to Mega Drive as I saw your comment. I've been acquiring a taste for tracks from 199X and 200X too lately, my faves probably being Orbital Strike for 199X and Control Alt Dissonance from 200X for it's chill trippiness.
There are a lot of synthwave artists nowadays that essentially do the same thing, but Mega Drive's albums are on another level and wholly unique. Love the vibe they offer. Really cool to see another fan!
if you had to recommend one track on the album, which would it be do you think?
Probably Exoskeleton, Acid Spit, NARC are the top 3 for me.

Chicane - Poppihola. The video isn't radical or anything, but it's a nice accompaniment to a beautiful song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z8oEUhXTloU
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Anyone familiar with Leprous?
I first met their - "The Sky Is Red" song, through watching the performance of their drummer. While usually not my type of music, this band is fun to listen to in a car.
never heard of them before, but just listened to that song and it's super epic! irregular time signatures are always so hard for me to wrap my head around hahaha. love the vocals too.
One more. :)
Macklemore - Hind's Hall 2. I love this song, but hate that it has to exist. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRRoTR9HGFU
Iron Savior's cover of "When The Rain Begins To Fall".
