Some awesome crunch in those synths.

I could imagine it being in a terminator film. Very oppressive.

Thanks Nick! Yeah, I definitely went for that period sound. Running it hot through late 70s and early 80s gear to give it that flavor and crunch. Thanks for listening and commenting, much appreciated!

Sounds ponderously awesome with a lot of gravitas (and properly period/cinematic). 

Out of curiosity: What kinds of old synths did you dust off and use to record this?

Wow films sure like rejecting synth scores, huh?  Makes me curious what either of those films would have been like had those OSTs been accepted.

Love the evolving atmosphere on this one, the dry synths first made me a bit anxious, then the added pads and more prominent bass carried a lot of emotions, into something a bit more agressive. A very pleasant journey indeed !

Also curious about the hardware you used especially for that bass sound!

It's quite visceral and intense, but really cool.  It creates a very vivid mood.  Maybe not quite horror, but there's definitely something threatening lurking nearby and sometimes breathing right down your neck.
