This Is Fine

I accidentally got carried away again. This started as a little video game instrumental tune but quickly evolved into... 80s synthy song thing? Oops... It serves well as a demo, but I'm not super into a couple of the build and lyric choices so it may get tweaked one day.

Holy cats! Back in the 90s I was a member of a mailorder fanclub that would occasionally release cassettes (and a couple CDs!) of underground/indie synthwave tracks, demos, b-sides, and more. It's through them that I discovered Anything Box, Red Flag, T42, and a bunch of other cool bands. This track takes me right back to those days and I love it!!

I love the syncopated bass - kick drums. Solid vocals performance, nice throwback to the late 80's but with some chiptune vibes later, some sound palette that are really yours, but yeah those drums + bass screams 80's...

Nice two distinct parts, not sure if the 15 secs at 2m45 is necessary up to 3 mins mark where buildup is great. I don't feel that it raise tension, helps that much to the development of the track but damn there is good stuff in here.

Congrats on the track.
