I have to thank Ed for finding this and introducing it to me. Been listening to it for about 30 minutes now and already loving it.

Have a look at these artists...

These bands love using synth. Also have a listen to the Drive soundtrack, it's a very cool one. :smileywink:

Thanks for that, Kloud! Finding College very much a tribute to actual 80's music.
Liking Kavinsky a lot.

I dunno if it's worth sharing this one on the board. The video seems to be within PG-13 / 12A boundaries.
