Hey hey, my my, 80s retro will never die

No retro like good 80s retro! And Stephen Falken is good 80s retro. Imagine if John Carpenter had made the soundtrack to an 80s action/comedy movie. Analogue sounds, no annoying singer trying to send a message. Just perfect analogue synthness. Unfortunately the cover looks more like something out of William Gibson's cybernetic dreams, rather than the Miami Vice nu-disco it is.
Unfortunately The Shadow of the Wind, his best song, isn't on youtube, but Visions is also splendid.
This is the kind of stuff I could listen to forever.
