though a familiarity with the inspiration for this album probably helps appreciate some of the nuance, it really isn't required to enjoy everything that's going on here. there are some great laid back / atmospheric vibes, as well as more high energy tracks punctuated with a disco feel. superb synthwave bliss!

Really glad Jonathan Belle did a reaction to a track from this album. I bought the album immediately! My second favorite track is Decelerated. Just an awesome album! Cannot tell you how many times I have listened to Only When It's Dark. captainboromir
