A short, but sweet release, this EP perfectly captures why Faint Waves remains one of the penultimate artists in the retrofuture scene. Clean and polished mixes complement beautifully written tracks. AeroStar
Expo 2 remains one of my favourite records due to its dreamy, interesting soundscape. It brings to mind the songwriting of many simulation and 'city-building' games of the 90's era. AeroStar
It's hard to pick a favourite out of ACY's discography, but Open House stands out to me thanks to its stylish and surrealist qualities. It is an album to put on and decompress, much like a good book. AeroStar

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas Tichounko
