New Retro Wave

So, while searching for space-themed power metal I came across something totally different but really well suited for my purposes... mostly background/inspiration music for games of Ion Age and Rogue Trader.

For a bit of a taste, here's a link to the NRW YouTube channel:

There are a few other channels on YT hosting this genre, and it's well worth a browse. In some ways it is in the vein of 80s revival like Kung Fury, so there is some irony and anachronism but it is all really well composed.

So there are some "harder" sounding tracks, as opposed to the "dream" compositions. Overall I think for a bit of 80s auditory flavour it really hits the spot.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but neither is Bolt Thrower I guess!

Thoughts, favourites etc.?
