zircon Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm very excited to announce the release of Spacesynth Revolutions, a compilation CD of spacesynth (aka Italo Disco) music on the Alpha Centauri record label. I was invited to participate on this project by the CD's executive producer, OC ReMixer and electronic artist Mark Vera, a prolific spacesynth artist with tons of catchy ReMixes and great original songs. Mark himself has music on the compilation, as well as a number of other top artists in the genre. You can listen to an album megamix here: http://www.centaurimusic.com/catalogue/catacen/ac0009cd/assets/srm.mp3 If you're not familiar with this particular style of instrumental dance music, it's basically disco-inspired with lots of analog synths, drum machines, glistening pads, soaring bells and catchy hooks. If you like C64-era music by artists like Chris Huelsbeck you will certainly like this. There are a number of spacesynth ReMixes on OCR, too. My track on this album is #9, "Solar Revolution". It was my first attempt at spacesynth music but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Enjoy the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETROMAN Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Awesome. Within 10 seconds of listening to the megamix, I knew I was going to order this CD. I love 80's synth music like Laserdance, Jean Michel Jarre and Gazebo, so this is right up my alley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayza Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've had trouble ordering from Alpha Centauri before. Any ideas if their shipping department has improved over the last few years? I would be ordering many albums but it's been a hassle.. Congrats on getting on there though, spacesynth is one of my favorite genres.. Also, where does your tune begin in the megamix?

zircon Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 My song comes in at 10:45. They just used the intro though - there's so much more cool stuff in it, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know exactly what kind of problems you've had, but if you have problems ordering this album I'm sure we can sort it out - if not else I'll send one of the copies I have.. Thanks for zircon willing to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Will have to get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Zirc, I noticed on the megamix that your song has a specific old NES sound to it. I like. I liked the rest of the megamix, special kudos to you and your team, it sounds excellent, and something that I would buy just to play in my excellent sound system in my car.

Bahamut Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Somehow I missed this thread - just ordered a copy. It turns out to be quite expensive, ~$19 ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETROMAN Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I received the cd in the mail a few days ago, and right now I'm listening to it at work I'm really enjoying the album. Some spacesynth albums have the tendency sound a bit repetitive after a few tracks, but thankfully there's a lot of variation here. Oh and Zircon, your track rules. I love that bubbly SID-like sound!

Zombie Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 This album is seriously blowing me away. I love this. Your track in particular is probably one of my favorites, mr Zircon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
