These synthwave artists are going to keep coming together to create the vibe of the decade. 😎

[@RetroDLatenight]

Well said buddy! This new decade to come has the name Retrowave all over. We are taking over! our times is now! :)

[@uplift-yourdailypickup6424]

Wake Up! is my favorite song on here. It's been stuck in my head for the past week.

[@d.allymusic]

[@thiaguera89games99]

[@mobilesuit033]

Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya!!!!

[@johnparr347yrsand2]

Wow, a song with The Michael Oakley and The Ollie Wride, that's insane in the best way. 2 absolute giants of vocal talent. Boomin by the way, nice wan

[@anterpants]

Thought the same thing. Still listening and haven’t gotten to Dana Jean Phoenix yet, can’t wait for that one.

[@pauljamieson4210]

Michael Oakley is my most favourite Synthwave artist 💯%👍👍

[@andyphillips3518]

This is the best day of my life. Thank you Michael. 😎👍🏻

[@jerrieljiji2321]

After the saxophone, the bagpipes have to be the next thing to hear in each synthwave track.

[@lordt78]

God, no!

[@dominikbaresi4854]

michael and ollie, perfect combination!!!!! thanks guys!!!

[@robertdelangel1230]

Read my mind... Dana is also equally good...hard to pick between the two

[@Tones-he3cj]

Enjoyed listening to the album, thank you for posting it. Stand out track is 7. Queen of Hearts by Michael Oakley wow!!

[@jpcrtube]

can't stop listeneing , awesome !!!

[@MikaGio]

Ollie Wride (FM 84) is omnipresent artistically on "Odyssey" 👀 🌟 I thought it was only Michael Oakley. The song "Is There Anybody out There" is my NUMBER ONE of my actual playlist, ON REPEAT since the release 😎 GREAT GREAT SONG 👏

[@Skulldrag88]

Makes me reflect on past .simpler times ...

[@adamj.cuthbert7528]

Great album. 'Real Life' is superb, such an amazing song. A deep, poignant, powerful piece. And I just love the sax!

[@liveanadventure429]

It’s funny how some albums are instant and others are not, when I first heard introspect I couldn’t stop listening to it, I would sing along to all of the songs and I still do, it’s a fantastic album, with odyssey it wasn’t instant on the whole, there were a couple that immediately stood out, queen of hearts which could’ve been right at home on introspect, and real life, but the other songs didn’t grab straight away but over the last couple of months I feel this album has really grown and and is also a fantastic album but I don’t think when stars collide really fits on this album, I just feel the beat seems kind out of place on this album, for me it’s the beat, but overall fantastic and I hope to acquire this on cassette 👍🏻

[@ActionGal]

congrats♥

[@berniepaul109]

Wonderful album Michael. Like all of your work, the production is spotless and the overall feel is of elegance. What got me right away with this one, in contrast with your previous catalog, is the more serious tone, maybe more personal ? But at the same time it captures perfectly in sonic form that hyper-optimistic zeitgeist of the early 90's, before grunge and hip-hop turned the music scene mean and cynical.

[@Plagueheart]

20:56 Got Phil Collin vibes

[@paintedbird6417]

I'm finishing up some online course work for culinary school, I love this album, thank you!

[@Megareos]

Fantastico!, mi cancion preferida es la numero 2 (wake up!)

[@cpackman1]

[@cuma3th449]

[@2nov12]

New álbum 😍 Thanks Michael ..!!

[@pavelbiohazard2435]

👍

[@ILLRICARDO]

i need to find a way back to the eighties, where the only problem i had was setting the vcr to record transformers, thundercats and voltron.

[@Pikachu-sc1yc]

I didn't know big brother likes synthwave.

[@mikefarristhegamebunny]

A superstar born too late. If this was released in the 80s it’d be all over radio and mtv.

[@AuricomSystems]

This album is fucking incredible. Instant classic.

[@DanCath]

YES!!!! I thought I heard @olliewride!!

[@shrapnelle]

What a lament

[@damianstarks3338]

Perfect Friday album.

[@enricestevemir7965]

First track sounds very Coldplay !

[@Th3BigBoy]

It's going to be a great day.

[@chrisnlilneef03]

God I wish that first track had some vocals

[@nastolniyvadim]

Примерно такой саунд я ждал от игры Cyberpunk 2077, а еще атмосферы прокуренного, мрачного, но в то же время интеллигентного неонуара. Эх... жаль, что там такого довольно мало...

[@harmhermens3210]

Nice positive vibes

[@eyesofpicasso]

Oakley, the midnight, wolfclub, a few others: the synthwave apex

[@Soviet_BulleT]

My weekend has started the best way possible 😘😍

[@damirko06]

where's my f***in' DeLorean when i need it...i've run out of plutonium anyways, so...but this is a really good substitute ❤️

[@SkogKniv]

I know some Libyans...

[@Drakon9]

OAKLEY+MORODER = SUPERSTAR ITALODISCO. Hello from Ukraine!

[@Jimoshi1]
