“View From Above” by Kyle Jameson is like a time capsule; nostalgic, yet fresh sounds inspired by the sound of the 80s. Evocative melodies, harmonies and synthesizer/chorused guitar nuances that transport the listener to another realm, to a familiar soundscape located somewhere in the distant past.
“I composed all of the music in my home studio using my collection of the famous vintage 80’s synthesizers,” says Kyle Jameson.
