Today I am at a track meet waiting for my son to compete in the 1600m and starting to crate dig for music to score my d&d group's upcoming Tales From the Loop game. I need recommendations! vibes: 80s-inspired synth pop, fairlights and drum machines ranging from John Hughes to Stranger Things, but it's gotta be instrumental or nearly so. Bonus points for Swedish period-accurate tunes!

What you got, #music nerds?

I've already got the very excellent 80s Kids (Instrumentals) from DRYVE:

@thermous not the right vibe for the game but it's going in the wishlist!
@evilchili Hi! I just saw your request. I found this Swedish instrumental song from the 80s, and I think it might have the qualities you are looking for. Song: "Eira" by the group "Ratata".
