SIMPLY THE BEST !!!
Andy does the best job ever to keep Synthwave and synth music alive :)
I discovered so much new music thanx to this show đ
Beyond Synth is host by Andy Last. He talks to synth wave musicians, listeners, and podcasters with similar interests. He also talks about building his own arcade machine. He has two cats. He has been making playlists of great music for many years.
Itâs crazy to watch people as they are infected with, I guess we call it the âwoke mind virus.â They slowly hate everything they do⊠I just heard Andy say he doesnât even like the synthwave scene anymore and he doesnât keep track of it. He runs a synth wave chat show! Heâs bitter. Mike sure doesnât help. People all over the world are putting themselves through Marxist struggle sessions and itâs surreal to watch happen everywhere you look. Andy, Take a step back and listen to old episodes. If you... more
5 star review for the best synthwave chat show there is and ever was. Some may complain that Andy dislikes Star Wars too much, but he may be rightâŠ. Some may complain that he likes golden eye too much, well, um, yeahâŠ. We discussed this on twitter a decade ago and um, well, yeah⊠But what is important is this. The show is amazing, tons of new music, great escapism from news and current events that bring you down, interviews with artists and such are amazing, Marco, Florence, Mike and captain new... more
I started to listen this podcast on soundcloud in 2018. I love it and makes me happy even in the darkest times. So thank you Andy and all of your friends who are in the show regularly.
