Corruptopia

by DATAStream

supported by

SteveSynth One of the best synth concept albums ever created. This album proves that if you can come up with a cool storyline and have the synth know how to back it up, it is possible to create a whole world of sound and craft this in true OST fashion. Dystopia made flesh. Favorite track: Border Control.

Adam Vorobyov I have only just now begin to start discovering the synthwave genre in all its glory, this 'Soundtrack-like' release is stellar, its the perfect soundtrack for a low budget late 80s early 90s cyberpunk film. Favorite track: Borrowed Time.

GranaDa Studio Goes with work or to make a cool mood for your lady. Must have! Favorite track: Chief Executive.

Jared Leckie This album is a top quality production and feels like a score to a blockbuster video game with a full range of epic events.

It's intense, emotive, dangerous and stands as one of the best releases in Synthwave for 2014
GOLD RATING 10/10 Favorite track: Enter The Ranger.

FE I love a good concept album, and this is one that will be blasting through my car speakers for a long, long time. Nice work, DATAStream! Favorite track: A New Beginning.

about

“The year is 2089, a once just and honest local authority has turned on its citizens, plunging them into a life of oppression and fear. Artistic expression is forbidden, yet those in power secretly negotiate and control its reach. Life within the borders is hard and many have given up hope of a better life, resigning themselves to work in the authority's vast headquarters as little more than drones. Art is the only currency and the authority will do whatever it takes to acquire every last piece. Will it always be this way? Or will someone take a stand on the mean streets of Corruptopia...”

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit

Excellent, due to its style of music production, Evil T fuses chiptune, darsythn and cyberpunk with originality. The tracks are structured, rich in modulations and sound transitions, I love it. Cyber Djinn

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead
