Lately I’m discovering that a lot of European electro bands have an unhealthy obsession with American 80’s nostalgia and retro-future imagery. It brings back memories and it’s kind of beautiful and Utopian…in a cheesy, naive sort of way.

The music of Futurecop! seems to be inspired by 80’s Saturday morning sci-fi cartoons and teen movies. Their original version of this song (which was named after the film) is synth-fantasy, the Powerglove remix is synth-danger. Check it out.
