It is very nice indeed. If I had a comment, and it would be a minor one, is that it has too many "reminders" of some sounds that TD used in many an album ... and personally, I would rather hear T&U by themselves, rather than have my mind turn towards something else.
It is nice though, and much more "modern" than a lot of the stuff in the 80's as mentioned, though I do not think of it as 80's at all ... I just think of it as music. We kinda don't go around saying that this and that Beethoven piece sounds like the 1800's for example ... music is a moment in time, so to speak, and I like those moments ... not necessarily other moments, or ideas of different moments.

I think it is supposed to have 'reminders', as you call them
Have listened to Synthwaves once but I think I will need to listen to it several more times before I can make a final decision on it. On first listen I felt it was a pleasant album but there was nothing that stood out and made me say - Wow, that was brilliant!! May be a grower, but after one listen I would say 3 out of 5.
The link shows pieces that appear to be complete ... just not in an album format, thus the mix side of things might not be TD'ish if I can use that term. I listened to all the pieces and did not make the call to buy the album at all. It wasn't way out there special enough for me and my tastes.
