Mega Drive - Seas Of Infinity (Full Album)

[@amichaelson]

Congrats. Album sounds fantastic.

[@devoid5637]

Definitely

Still coming back to this gem years later for the cosmic dark soundscaping and immensely satisfying rhythm compositions

[@midgetman4206]

Mega Drive doesn't age. Just like Dance with the Dead. Those 2 are my favorites. Almost everything they make is awesome.

[@bruhhhhhh1]

can we talk about how Off/World is an absolute masterpiece but is seriously underrated

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

I agree, both Off/World and Survival Skills are underrated

[@GradiusGhost1]

I very much agree with you. This may be a stretch....but I'm going to go ahead and recommend that you check out a guitarist named Ewan Dobson since this song's distinct vibe/musical patterns sound interesting to you. Here's a taste: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nUgYyqmp2nrMU

The way track 2 bleeds itself into track 1 is phenomenal

[@FixxxerZ7]

Ok, Godspeed Us To The Stars and Run The Code just BLEW ME AWAY. I listen to a lot of Synthwave, but so far only Megadrive, Perturbator, Dance With The Dead, Carpenter Brut and Power Glove sound to me totally unique and with their own amazing sound and songs. This album is freaking amazing. Wow, it definitely gives Megadrive another gem.

[@ecozones2d627]

Paradelous- power slam is a nice theme

[@clearskiesmovieproject4685]

IMO Perturbator is always off-key, but Dance With The Dead, and Brut and really good, same with "Ultimate Drive". ultimate drive is mega drive

[@FixxxerZ7]

@@clearskiesmovieproject4685 Off key? Most definitely not.

[@clearskiesmovieproject4685]

@@FixxxerZ7 I'll explain what I mean, for example, Perturbator - Welcome To Nocturne City that song started off VERY good, but in the middle of the song, it has vocals that don't fit the start. In no way am saying Perturbator is a bad artist far from it, but I think he has his issues compared to Brut and Megadrive. Another thing that irritated me a bit with Perturbator was the collab with Brut, Perturbator - "Complete Domination (feat. Carpenter Brut)" ["Dangerous Days" Official] I liked that song but it's underwhelming near the middle and end, again not saying it's bad. But Perturbator has his gems, all artists do but he's not my most liked.

[@lobscotch8802]

Gonna admit, took me a while to get into this album... even though I thought it was meh at the time I had this urge in the back of my mind that told me to keep relistening to it. Must've been my 4th relisten before it clicked, and honestly? I believe this is your absolute best work so far. Holy hell it's good

[@jimjohnson7818]

I've listened to it over a thousand times and only picture now as some retelling of... Headless horseman, dracula. Ow I know, Fracula. Suck it Warner Bros

[@jcdenton6427]

Most of his work is like that, you listen once and go "okay, it's good I guess" but then it clicks on you after few times I you realise that this is synthwave perfection. I absolutely hated The Grid but after many times trying to get it it's now one of my favourites. Seas of Infinity is still the best album though, every single track was not wasted, perfect flow, smooth transitions, amazing climax in Visceral Grit.

Considering the Lovecraft reference as the opening line, it's no wonder this album is so psychedelic. Beautiful work.

Wow, this is fucking great! Different that previous Megadrive, but I like it. I hear growth. Dark and edgy. I have no idea what people are complaining about.

[@shamancredible8632]

people like the old mega drive. It sucks when your favorite artist stops appealing to its own fans. especially if you're one of those fans. I'd call this album a hit and miss sort of deal, some are good and some are bad. it's like pissing.

[@smirkkink1663]

sorry. Pertubator's new ablum totally destroyed this

[@eppie899]

as if they can even be remotely compared

[@shamancredible8632]

you're disregarding the fact that mega drive created its fanbase mostly with songs that sounded nothing like these. Especially that vaporwave-sounding crap...

[@eppie899]

they didnt "create a fanbase". you close minded fucks cling to a single album based on hotline miami and cant accept anything else.

[@beatsartisian2007]

I wouldn't say that the album was tailored to hotline miami. Several of the tracks on the album , if not most of them, were created prior to the game. To say that people are clinging to the hotline miami soundtrack like it's a bad thing is ridiculous. Not to say that I dislike this album, but people are allowed their own opinions.

[@bernkbestgirl]

This album has grown on me immensely. I like Junkhead, No Fate, and Off/World. Off/World is great because of the build-up to the last minute, which is the best part of that song.

[@macdhomhnaill7721]

I literally JUST listened to that Lovecraft audiobook. That man’s voice is perfect for reading Lovecraft.

[@jcdenton6427]

By far the best Mega Drive album. Every single track hits in right places and transitions make it even better

[@tidusdavis6658]

Someone needs to be a real changing force within this scene. It all sounds the same if you put synth wave radio on lol. With all the new sounds going on in this album, i am extremely excited to see how these directions will shape his music in albums to come.

[@StrongZeroPowerHour]

Agreed 100%. We have so many imitators that are just repeating the last three years. It's great to see people expanding the boundaries of the medium.

[@battlemode]

Well said, nobody needs more of the same, over and over. He's pushing this "genre" in different directions and exploring, like a real artist. Great album!

[@thefreeman5653]

Dance with the Dead is also breaking the mold, listen to their new album "Loved to the Death"

[@0lionheart]

That's why I've always loved Gost and Perturbator; they just do their own thing each album and are finding their own sound much more each time.

[@357MAGNUMSNIPER]

I gotta say that after a few times listening through this album, I'm quite liking it. Many songs on this album sound like they have a lot more depth to them (no pun intended) than in earlier works, the hard-hitting songs are still real bangers like before (Godspeed Us To The Stars) and a good amount of melody is still retained like always, while preserving that distinguishable style in synths. I'm also glad to see he's continuing to produce more atmospheric imaginative stuff like In Dreams. In general I really like the otherworldly feel this whole album has, letting me sink into the depths of melodies the likes of Off/World all while trying to imagine what kind of world the music is trying to depict. Sure it's different, but it's not bad by any means, and I'm all for artists experimenting with new concepts and styles, because I for one wouldn't want to produce the exact same stuff for a multitude of years especially if it starts getting boring. Perturbator's Uncanny Valley is different from his earlier works and I have no doubt that Carpenter Brut's new 2018 album is also going to be somewhat different compared to Trilogy. Still looking forward to all future releases from these artists, Mega Drive included!

[@fataloath]

that cover artwork is some of the coolest I have seen in a WHILE

[@Cenotaff]

Mega Drive is boss. If you're his rep label, keep supporting his ass. He's a rare gem with a sound of his own and a sound that fucking rules. It's not completely all about listens/sales. This dude will stand the test of time whereas many others will just be clone drones.

[@magosauxilliarusy2k4theomn98]

will the clone drones be in the danger zone?

[@svenweisserfuchs1297]

I don't get the bitching about Junkhead, sounds like traditional hard industrial music from the 80's and 90's. I'm glad Mega Drive is trying something new with this album and overall sounds great.

[@IClopToRarity]

Junkhead I think needed more melodies or variation. Otherwise, it was actually interesting.

[@shamancredible8632]

I'm here to listen to mega drive, not 90's industrial. That aside, I don't like the song anyway.

[@IClopToRarity]

that's fair. :)

[@eppie899]

you are listening to mega drive. just not your fabricated version of what you think mega drive is.

[@DJstarrfish]

I like Junkhead, but I can see why people think it's more reminiscent of Sonic Mayhem than Mega Drive. We should be careful to not put "Mega Drive's sound" in a box though.

[@joshuasturmfels3107]

What a fantastic album. I didn't like the earlier albums very much and had kindof written mega drive off. Glad I gave this one a try. Junkhead really does feel like old school industrial, which is remarkable to feel that in my ears again. The album as a whole feels like it could be an alternate soundtrack for the old classic "Deus Ex: The Conspiracy." Love it!

[@rancidreducer584]

Some of us are allowed to have an opinion. Don't pass off criticism as "haters"

[@AegisAuras]

Visceral Grit ‘92 embodies one of my favorite concepts of synthwave: the mixing of ethereal, angelic melodies with heavy, powerful basses. It’s like reaching for higher notions of beauty and meaning with the power to grasp, protect, and manifest it.

[@Kruegernator123]

You know it's a phenomenal album when there's only a single song you don't like. The rest are fucking PERFECT. Each one world-builds in a unique way, (even Junkhead, the one I can't get 100% behind, but I don't HATE it). Seas of Infinity, to my personal tastes, is Mega Drive's magnum opus.
