[Thor Joachim Haga]

Though at least there was no fake backstory behind Eno’s “Music for Films”.

True, he was more straight-up about it.

To be fair, I did a lot of this myself in my young years. Created comic book characters, short stories and novels and even back stories to games I was playing (like one for the manager I played in CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER, he, he). But I grew up. It’s really something I associate with childhood and adolescence.

And I really think these albums could have stood on their own legs. Everybody knows that synthwave is a genre that points back to the 80s. There’s no need for this extra ‘imaginary reality’ thing.

Oh well, no big deal. At least it’s better than A.I., as Malte says.
