Hi folks.
Here’s a retro synth pop piece using the Electro/Euro style Realtracks with me playing all leads and solo’s and some pads,I used Tone 2 Saurus,NI FM8 and the Arturia ARP 2600V on this one.

Was never a big fan of electronica but Oxygene was a notable exception and I think you've captured that same spirit. Good job.

this is really peppy and cheery - it's a cool vibe that I haven't heard from electronica in a while!

The sounds are good until the 2nd lead synth sound - that was a bit funfair for my tastes.
The lead synths remind me of Bo Hansson while the backing is Jarre.
It does sound, in spots like you were a little under rehearsed but I like the melody.

Really fun, upbeat and bouncy tune. That synth is still bouncing around in my head (I hope I can get to sleep now - lol). You've really blended it well - the essence of the theme comes through strong and clear above the other sounds.

Nicely done Riccled - love the groove on it, and found it nicely catchy. As others say, it really has some bounce to it and I liked the upbeat vibes.

Thanks for sharing smile

Hi Riccled,

synthy stuff has always been a book with seven seals to me, so I can't really judge the expertise it took to write, program and play this fine piece. But I can tell you I did enjoy it.
