Wave Grid by Stephen Roddy

"Wave Grid is built around a primal and stripped back approach to the synth-heavy sci-fi and horror soundtracks of 1980s. It takes influence from classic scores of the era by Vangelis, John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream and Ennio Morricone paying homage to the unique electronic soundworlds they conjured. Wave Grid takes the listener on a sonic tour with 10 instrumental pieces that aim to find a balance by approaching epic electronics with a natural and direct style."

"Industrial textures and acid synths: this track feels like a war cry against anyone who can’t live without soothing melodies. Everything here pulses, scratches, drives forward. The energy is fierce but focused, like a runaway train that still knows its path. There’s something cinematic about it – the way the sounds stack up, the tension they create, as if each bar might burst at any second. No compromises, no softness: just rhythm, pressure, and a relentaless sense of urgency."
