Mega Drive, the American musician from Dallas, has unveiled his latest album titled ‘Seas of Infinity’ on the prestigious ‘Lakeshore Records,’ marking a return four years after ‘198XAD.’ This album, characterized by its careful and thoughtful composition, has earned recognition from a record company known for selecting soundtracks for movies and series like ‘Drive,’ ‘Logan,’ ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Legion,’ ‘Mr. Robot,’ and more. Lakeshore Records has also shown an affinity for the best of the Synthwave genre, having recently released ‘Shanghai,’ a concept album by the French artist ‘College,’ and the first EP for the documentary ‘The Rise of the Synths,’ for which Mega Drive composed an exclusive track titled ‘Stargate.’

‘Seas of Infinity’ immediately captivates listeners with its dark and retro-futuristic atmosphere, reminiscent of the 80s but infused with modern electronic sounds. The album’s emotional range varies from melancholic to joyful and festive, effectively evoking nostalgia and cinematic references often associated with horror films by directors like John Carpenter and Stephen King. At the same time, it exudes energy with beats that recall the intensity of artists like Modeselektor and subtlety reminiscent of Justice, Boys Noize, Daft Punk (during the ‘Human After All’ period), and Mr. Oizo. Several tracks on the album stand out for their beauty, transporting listeners to otherworldly realms akin to the works of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre during the peaks of their careers. With 11 high-quality tracks featuring rich compositions, ‘Seas of Infinity’ takes the listener on a journey through space and time, filled with cinematic and video game references.

The album’s outstanding cover art was created by the talented John Bergin, who serves as the artistic director of Lakeshore Records. In summary, ‘Seas of Infinity’ is an awesome album that showcases Mega Drive’s musical prowess and ability to create a captivating Synthwave experience.

Gear up, and prepare your ears for some ruthless synth and beats.
