I was a teenager in the 80's - heavily into electro- synth music - when I got my driving license I used to drive all night cross country listening to my favourite tracks on cassette tape - and where I lived there was a guy with a countach - so all these years later this music and the imagery resonates heavily with me - kind of bitter sweet - the hopes and dreams for me and the world that never happened but we thought was within our reach.

what were the hopes and dreams of that time?

@@yeahx32p69 - From about the mid-1980s I think young people like me (living in a wealthy city in a wealthy country) were optimistic that our hopes and dreams of positive technological, political, economic and social progress would become reality in the near future. This was also a period of economic growth and opportunity so there was the belief that you could achieve anything you wanted in terms of career and money if you put your mind to it regardless of your background. This was the message the political and popular culture of the 1980s era was giving us and this was the message many of us based our hopes and dreams on - how much of the message was based on reality and how much was an illusion is open for debate (this is just my personal perspective on the era - obviously other people may have had a totally different experience).

Welcome back Asthenic. Had been very long five months.

This makes me nostalgic for a place that I can picture in my mind, that I feel like i've been to, yet we aren't even there yet.

On stressful Friday nights when putting the Bangkok Post to bed, I discovered these mixes, and I found some sort of freedom in the flow. When all was said and done, I’d hop on a motorbike and cut a line through a blade runner view of the Bangkok night, then past the underside of canal city shacks, past the truck depot where neon karaoke bars and bored beauties lining the sidewalk waited to sing, and onto Rama IV to filter through the endless traffic jam. It hasn’t been a year since I left that crazy town to sink in the soulless swamp of DC. But I miss those motor-lit Bangkok nights, when the Aesthetic flow made sense, not just as a retro-futurists yearning for an imagined future that never came, but for the endless beauty of a now that can still be.

MrGrumpyGills That’s really kind of you. I am trying to get one book published right now and am writing another set in Bangkok. I’ll let you know. Thanks for the encouragement! May we all find love in and get love from what we do. Update: I published that book, it’s called Lana Walked on the Shore. The next one is set in Bangkok!

Brings so many memories. The 80's were ahead of it's time. This is simply beautiful, Thank you for taking the time to do this, really appreciate it.

First track might be one of my favorites. Keeps me coming back everytime

Working while listening to your mixes is the best, I get so focused it's freaky. I'm pretty new to Synthwave and I never thought I'd discover a new genre of music to fall in love with. Anyway, thanks for everything you do!

Welcome back, Asthenic! We all are waiting for you
