Binged at the Rasputin $3 rack...
...picked up a lot of '80s flashback stuff.
So why is it that late '80s Tangerine Dream sounds like a SquareSoft game soundtrack?
I remember at the time it sounding innovative and smart ('course, I was young and foolish at the time, and game platforms were all still 8-bit—except for Amiga—so they couldn't have featured soundtracks like this). Their earlier material held up much better, as do a number of other electronic artists of the time.
I suppose it could be worse, it could sound like a porn soundtrack now.

Remix-64
I have many many downloads from there. Including the one I used for the soundtrack of the in-game vid I captured of our attack on a pirate station (It's 20MB, so linkage is available on request). It got lots of compliments as being so totally appropriate...
