Synthesizer Dreams: Revisiting Low Approach’s 1985 Classic 'Stranger No Stranger'


Low Approach's EP Stranger No Stranger, released in 1985, is a synthesizer trip that captures the 80s in all its glory. The very first track evokes the atmosphere of nighttime drives along Miami’s neon-lit streets – a clear homage to the iconic Miami Vice style.

The pulsating synthesizers, combined with driving drum machines, transport the listener directly to a time when melancholy and optimism shaped the sound simultaneously. Each track is infused with a certain dreaminess that stirs nostalgic feelings and recalls an era when synthesizers and electronic sounds created a new musical world. Stranger No Stranger is a must for anyone who loves the charm of the 80s and enjoys being wrapped in gentle retro vibes.
