My 80s instrumental synth pop #CrateDigging has been very fruitful. I now have several hours of real no foolin 80s instrumental synth pop and instrumental covers of massive hits as well as 80s-inspired retrowave, dark synthwave, and ambient. Threw in a few banger soundtrack cuts as well. I even managed to home in on a few Swedish artists! Although the venn diagram of "svenska," "80s synth pop," "instrumental," and "available on youtube or bandcamp" is pretty narrow.
Now I must organize them into context-specific playlists for the upcoming #TalesFromTheLoop mystery I'm running for my wife's birthday. I will probably just limit myself to three -- adventure, quiet moments, and trouble. Doing location or NPC music like I do for major campaigns like #DeadSands will be wasted effort unless we end up running an entire campaign in this game some day.
