Reviews

A review by SWITCH.
Written by SWITCH. on 2020-07-22
This musical style isn't for everyone, and it isn't anything new either. As Texan producer John Bergin notes, “It's a reappropriation of past sounds to make a new trend.“ But if this sounds like something that interests you, Iván Castell's 'The Rise of the Synths' is worth 80 minutes or so of your time.
