Album Notes & Community Reviews

James Kent continues his reign as the premier architect of aggressive, cyberpunk-inspired synthwave. Set conceptually in a neon-drenched, dystopian metropolis set 24 years after his previous album, the record utilizes pummeling drum machines and menacing analog basslines to evoke vintage 1980s action and horror film scores. It remains a definitive, adrenaline-fueled pinnacle of the darksynth movement.
