Total Blue - Total Blue

Los Angeles-based trio Total Blue capture Michael Mann's neon-drenched vision of the city on their debut album, stirring reverberant soft-rock with new age-y Fourth World textures and breezy downbeats. RIYL Tangerine Dream's 'Risky Business' OST.

I can’t decide if I like this or not but it’s certainly very well done. 

Reminds me of those Mo Boma albums on Extreme. 

Got this on rn. A nice blend of Music From Memory's normal floaty new age fare with a sort of Carpenter/Faltermeyer 80s action cop movie thing going on as well.

I really like this. It's nothing new but it very nicely evokes a period - the fashion, architecture, culture of time I remember well.

This LP has been on weeks long repeat for me lately. Really can't get enough of it!

It grew on me over time too. There's a certain amount of cheese you have to get over but it's so well done.

its great one of my favs of '24
