Retrograde by Beckett
The soundtracks to games, films and life of the 1980s are the pinnacle of high calibre design and infectious listening. Who doesn’t love the intros to those cartoons, or the driving rhythms of TV cop shows, right through to the keep the dream spirit of the action films that have shaped generations… mine, yours... and still it continues.
Retrograde is a collection of tracks that have manifested themselves from thousands of hours gaming, or viewing, each minute becoming more and more enriched by the influence. The hope is you will hear, and you will remember a time, it’s not the exact time you know of, but the recall and connection should feel familiar. Progress can sometimes be found in retrograde...
