Definitely at the more 80s rock ballad end of synth pop, this track has a complex blend of fuzzy and ambient synths and guitars with various stages of distortion, from a funky sound that spans the whole track to a soaring guitar solo which ends the track. 

While there are some obvious rock elements in this track, Don't Ask Me does retain some key 80s elements, such as the ambient synths that open the track, along with the all-important ethereal bell melody.

Don’t Ask Me

More cheesy music of mine from 1983. All of these "80s" songs were just rough ideas I was trying to jot down real quick... this one was using my Sequential Circuits Prophet 600, Guitars, and Roland TR-909 drum machine recorded into a Clarion XD5 4-Track Cassette Recorder.

Bat Cave Demo // Music From The 80s

More cheesy music of mine from 1984. All of these "80s" songs were just rough ideas I was trying to jot down real quick... this one was using Ensoniq Mirage sampler recorded into a Clarion XD5 4-Track Cassette Recorder. Vocals sang through a cheap $20 Radio Shack microphone.

Don't Let Me Go // Music From The 80s

"The Emerald Eye" is a dynamic, 1980s-style jazz fusion composition that sparkles with intrigue and sophistication. This piece blends the smooth, soulful grooves of jazz with the electric edge of 1980s funk and rock, creating an irresistible sonic journey that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.
 "The Emerald Eye" unfolds like a cinematic tale, its melodies gliding with elegance and intrigue, like a spy’s shadow slipping through neon-lit streets. The composition builds with syncopated rhythms and smooth harmonies, creating a hypnotic energy that transports the listener to a world of vibrant cityscapes and secret rendezvous.
This track is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication and retro-modern charm to films, commercials, or video games seeking an adventurous, jazzy atmosphere. With its sparkling melodies and electrifying rhythms, "The Emerald Eye" is a true gem of 1980s jazz fusion.

Strict Tempo 2024.04.21 Part 2 (Baphomet Sunrise)

And now.....our feature presentation!

Or, at least my remix of the theme that would play before them on HBO when I was a kid.  

This used to be one of my favourites growing up.  Something epic was about to go down when one heard this!!!

Originally composed by Ferdinand Jay Smith III and used throughout the 80s & 90s, the clip would feature a brief flight over a city at sunset, before launching into space, where a giant silver version of the HBO logo would float toward the camera.  After the screen collides into the O, the Feature Presentation screen (as shown in the cover art) would appear!

HBO still uses a modernized version of the theme to this day.  A number of indie rock and synthwave acts have covered this too!

FREE DOWNLOAD this remix and use it for your aural motion pictures!

I do not own rights to the music used in making of this mix

The Boom Boom Session 25 - 80s Dance

Making the music I never had time for before. Retrowave, songs, and instrumentals. No AI is used in my writing or production.

Interested in collaborating with vocalists. Send me a message.

Cheapo, leftfield, electronic music inspired by weird stuff from the 1980s (DIY, Darkwave, cheesy Italo-Disco, Minimal wave, etc). Based in both North America and the Middle East. I'm also terrible at singing, so not much of that is gonna be happening.

Nice to meet you. My name is Randy Derricott, an Autistic EDM DJ/producer & Pharmacy Tech based in Coral Springs, Florida (a suburb of Fort Lauderdale) by way of Richmond, Virginia.

Active since 2004, I mainly make & play Trance & Progressive House.  I also sometimes let my nerdy side show by playing what I call "Comicontronica" or EDM remixes/covers of songs from video games, anime & the like.

My adventures have had me perform at a number of venues throughout South Florida as well as some of the biggest conventions in the US, among which include Anime Iwai, Otakufest, MegaCon, Kirbiicon, Colossalcon Ohio & Ichibancon in North Carolina.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I put making music on the backburner to focus on my DJing adventures, both on Twitch and, once things eased, live shows.  I've recently decided to jump back into the music making pool again.  While I do have a Soundcloud with music I made under a past alias, I've decided to make a brand new Soundcloud, since I'll be using my real name going forward.
