1980s, a time that once was, but is forever in our hearts... A vintage, yet futuristic pop culture with breathtaking music. Thanks for sharing.

I really want all the magical background music from shows like full house when it gets serious like when DJ has a talk with her dad after staying at her boyfriends house too late.

80's is an era with high hope in humanity, technology, prosperity, and equity.

Absolutely beautiful. One hour into it and not a single track that I could say was just okay..... no small achievement. Bravo!

Good Lord, I have been blessed to come across this music. Vibing with the 80’s. I get that futuristic feel, a couple of tracks hit that anemoia like nostalgia, even had a couple hit that 80’s police officer tone. One even sounded like a JRPG with the party members sitting  around plotting how to defeat a near future enemy/ or get out of some political event. Bravo my friend.

This music feels so warm inside, like a comforting hug from a decade I barely experienced—born in '87, but somehow, every note pulls me back to a time of big dreams, bigger hair, and endless nostalgia. It’s like home, even if I was just arriving.

Mr. Yanni must have been so impressed with this rendeition of his song. It is a great one.That is why he would sign off on it.

this is the best synthwave playlist because most others are just the same sounding song over and over. a lot of these songs actually sound like they could be part of a track from the 80s, which most other synthwave songs dont, they just emulate the sampled sounds rather than try to compose a song from the era. very nice playlist. its the only one i really like.

DAMN this has got some real fire in music technology history. The 70's did a great job in creating jazz fusion, but the 80's went another step further especially for New Age. Tangerine Dream and Vangelis helped the promote the bridge from hard rock.
