ACTIVATE - A Chill Synthwave Retrowave Mix Special

[@AstralThrob]

Hi astral gang! Hope all of you are safe yet again for another week of the lockdown. Anyway, SUPER amped for this week's mix!!! I know I always say this but this has got to be my best so far 2020. My personal favorite track has to go to the first song by *Rogue VHS* What's yours? Also I'm doing a darksynth mix next week, so suggest some cold and dark titles for the mix below! I read them all! stay safe and microwave

[@antmac4788]

Carl Sagan has always been one of my heroes. Thank you for including the first track which featured his "Pale Blue Dot" speech.

[@antmac4788]

As for a "cold and dark title", how about THE ABYSSAL PLAIN?

[@IsuiGtz]

Do you have a list of the best mixes you have done in your opinion? if so, I'd love to see it.

[@coconutvoid5963]

Microwave go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@MercilessMrBrooks]

My god that intro is GOLDEN especially with carl sagan in the back

[@danb2947]

His voice is the sound of human achievement and possibility

[@wolfrayne8355]

ikr that gave me chills ngl

[@lifevest1]

@@danb2947 Considering I adore the old COSMOS series for personal reasons, that description is 100% spot on. well done sir.

[@RandoBurner]

Yeah, the richest "scientist" ever, at the time of his death.His only real achievement.Otherwise, he babbled about conditions of life and how it can be found on other planets, none of which are taken seriously anymore. He had 0 achievements in science, just like DeGrasse Tyson, just like every other "scientist" that spends more time on TV than actually doing science.They do that because they suck at science so they must feed their huge ego.On this pale blue planet, he certainly made his coin and his fame.

[@AzNoRaRe]

@@RandoBurner Boy, you must be fun at parties. You're completely off basis. While some were critics of Sagan, it was due to his fame and the fact that typical people in academia didn't like how popular he was. Beyond that, he did in fact have many publications, though that is not nor should be the only mark of the value of an actual scientist. He popularized science and he should be thanked (and IS thanked by many besides you) for ushering in the next generations of scientists, especially those in the physical sciences and astronomy due to him inspiring them. He did that for me, for sure.

[@a.v.d.s.2216]

As soon as I heard Sagan's voice, I almost teared up. Fuck.

[@pNRGtv]

That Carl Sagan intro gave me chills...

[@newretrowave01]

Your musical contribution has woven seamlessly into the tapestry of sounds, creating a symphony that resonates with both skill and emotion.

[@winfehler]

„(...) on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.“ You couldn’t have chosen a better opening; those words get me every time ... Amen to that, Carl ✌️

[@RandoBurner]

Amen to the richest non scientist scientist whose only real accomplishment was getting rich, more than any other scientist and becoming famous for having done precisely nothing in the field of science.Its a kind of achievement i must admit, becoming a stand out figure in a field where you were nobody.

[@Bertus85]

​@@RandoBurner No one is saying Sagan is a brilliant scientist? Bit of a weird comment to make. I think he was a brilliant science communicator though. Cosmos

[@RandoBurner]

@@Bertus85 Name one scientist who thinks Carl Sagan was a scientist, let alone a brilliant one. Cosmos and Pale Blue Dot are TV programs and thats what he was, a media person, not a scientist.

[@Bertus85]

@@RandoBurner Why should I? I didn't claim he was a scientist. And I don't think the definition of scientist is that other scientists think that person is a scientist. Wikipedia mentions him as a scientist though, maybe you can go there to further your weird cause of proving Sagan was not a scientist. 🤷‍♂

[@RandoBurner]

@@Bertus85 I'd be willing to bet you have not even a basic understanding of anything scientific. Idk if its so, but its amazing that people who are saying he was a "brilliant science communicator" have not even the faintest idea of even the simplest laws of the physical universe. Usually people who think they know science from documentaries would fail even basic math, so its impossible to know science without knowing math. Some communicator and some students. But ego doesnt really need knowledge, just a bunch of people stroking their own egoes.

[@freddymurogiurfa326]

This Carl Sagan intro is DAMN RIGHT!

[@thanatoastiii6341]

2079 had me at those marvelous arpeggios. Brilliant!

[@RogueVHS]

Thanks for the inclusion in this fantastic mix!

[@tyjax5119]

Thank you for making awesome tunes for me to zone out too. You’re adding something special to the culture! Keep it up! 🙏🏾

[@Ace2021]

Loved yours the most!!!! Going to sub to your channel as well.

[@ciwik7702]

You are amazing keep it up!

[@smokecrash2147]

youre my favourite creator next to Johnny Ola

[@FourOf92000]

Just a heads-up: it's been over a year since I heard "Pale Blue" for the first time, right here, and it's _still_ my all-time favorite synthwave track.

[@mimimi5656]

That intro was so fucking bang, you really know how to start off a good playlist

[@Amonny]

Pale Blue! YES!

[@raz802]

Astral Throb: "Chill Synthwave" Also Astral Throb: 17:03

[@termooh6654]

Me: *is chilling* Astral Throb: WUB WUB WUB

[@reddmst]

That's what happens when you have 100k subscribers and want to release a mix every week regardless whether you actually have a content to put in it or not...

[@otrocanalmas8096]

rogue VHS - Pale Blue ... it is really awesome !! the Sagan's Speech ... i love it !

[@Music_lover1011]

The first sing, the one with the narrator; the man speaks nothing but truth. In my own opinion, VERY enlightening. ✨✨

[@wrensey_YT]

Pale Blue Dot - Carl Sagan for those curious about the opening monologue

[@osmacar5331]

@Edwin Samboy cause am looking at the engineering and conquest side of space not the wonders... well not the wonders in the same way

[@adamtracey1426]

Thanks

[@kurtdewittphoto]

@Edwin Blaire Young folks which haven't been exposed yet.

[@SpoopyChicken]

[@BobbyThunderbird]

@Edwin Blaire You're a sillyguy.

[@bkdove]

The perfect mix for watching a pink and blue sunset. Actually what I am just doing right now.

[@rodionraskolnikov6884]

First few seconds and i already got goosebumps holy fuck

[@uhN0id]

I don't have a dark title but when all this covid-19 stuff settles in and people can go back to their lives you should make a mix called "Re-entry" haha.

[@m1kethe1ke]

HellaDev bro ngl this would be sick

[@MercilessMrBrooks]

maybe I'm just childish but "reentry" sounds kinda.....sexual?

[@uhN0id]

@@MercilessMrBrooks Re-entry is like re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

[@m1kethe1ke]

Whiteless Eyes bruh

[@ntwede]

That's a perfect title!

[@aroach4689]

wow didn't put on this mix expecting to immediately want to cry but here we are

[@Axenide]

Best intro.

[@SubBrief]

My fellow synthwave mixer Astral Throb, it is always a thing of true glory and honor to be able to witness your synthwave mixes and enjoy them to the fullest extent. You always inspire me to improve the quality of my own synthwave mixes. Thanks my friend!

[@michaeltheisen]

my man sagan. hell yes always.

[@antonbanks8303]

What better way to start the day than with a great new collection of music that starts with samples Carl Sagan!

[@aleksandrkuziakov9266]

Pseudo-intellectual things that are read along with music, that's what I watch these videos for

[@adamofgrayskull7735]

BRILLANT this is fantastic Rip carl

2079 is a really good song for a stiff, rhythmic walk.
