A stylish work of sound art that musically condenses the essence of three decades into five tracks is presented by Luke Tangerine with ‚Retrodelic‚. The EP is an elegant journey through the 70s, 80s and 90s – sophisticatedly arranged, danceable and atmospherically dense.
The opening track is called ‚Funky Times‚. It lives up to its name. It has funky rhythms, playful synths and an irresistible groove. It kicks off the journey through time. The track skilfully balances the disco vibes of the 70s with the pop lightness of the 80s. With ‘Exoplanet Signal’, Tangerine delves into cinematic soundscapes – atmospheric, mysterious and with an arrangement reminiscent of the aesthetics of classic sci-fi scores.
‘Discotheque’ noticeably picks up the tempo and is firmly rooted in the sound of the 80s, enriched with a touch of the 90s. The beats are driving, the melodies pulsating – a track that seeks the dance floor. ‚Fire in my Soul‚ impresses with a distinctive bassline. The song also features elegant synth pads. These lend the song emotional depth.
The crowning glory is ‘Velvet Afterglow’ – a danceable earworm with a warm 90s flair and subtle 80s nuances. The track shines with its tempo, melody and charm.
‘Retrodelic’ is a compact musical gem that celebrates the past with sensitivity and style – while always remaining in the here and now. A must for lovers of retrofuturistic sound art.
