Straight To VHS Pt. 2 - Retrofuturist Dreams

The second part of our small "Straight to VHS" series is also a musical homage to fearless retro-futuristic works of art and nerdy science fiction material. The aesthetic world of this unusual album ranges from warm analog synth sound baths to experimental soundscapes for science fiction, true crime and art house cinema.
