'Crystal City'
Robert Parker’s 2016 classic ‘Crystal City’ is an intoxicating Synthwave masterpiece, drenched in nostalgia; served up with the passion and precision we’ve come to expect from the Stockholm-based producer.
Originally released on New Retro Wave in March of that year, this album has emerged as one of the true classics of the genre, capturing the very essence of this nostalgic yet forward-thinking scene.
Tracks like ’85 Again’ (feat. Miss K) and ‘Love Theme’ (feat. Maethelvin) are choice cuts in an album peppered with hits, and not a moment is wasted.
Dreamy melodies, pulsing Italo rhythms, and luscious Synth arrangements transport the listener to a neon-lit cityscape. It’s elegant and immersive, dance floor friendly Outrun at its finest.
