Behold the last instalment of the cyberpunk/darksynth trilogy by Mega Drive! Following the acclaimed albums 198XAD and 199XAD - 200XAD is finally available on a limited colored vinyl, proudly presented by FiXT. In 2014, Mega Drive released the visionary 198XAD, a darkly cybernetic piece of audio horror that quickly became a cult classic and followed it up with an equally dark direct sequel 199XAD in 2019. The recordings found spots on lists of the best dark synthwave albums and earned respect from critics, fans, and creators alike. And then last year Mega Drive finally returned to that dark realm with the triquel 200XAD, whose releases thus far from NARC³ onward have moved the dark dystopian world forward into a new era. Spread across fifteen epic tracks Mega Drive returns to the dystopian sci-fi world delivering a wide range of intensely detailed pieces from the ominous and mechanical part hope and part despair Threat Signal Loss to the lighter and more playful Shadow Dancer. Mega Drive displays an impressive versatility as he plunges listeners further into a dark world with a complex and exciting soundscape that encapsulates the many themes of his previous works; a dystopian future rife with crime, deceit, and corruption.
