MIRKO HIRSCH (feat. Michael Palace) – Return To Neon (2020)

MIRKO HIRSCH is a German musician, singer, songwriter and producer who for many years has been creating retro ’80s music. Just a quick look at the album cover of his new album and its title ”Return To Neon”, puts clear what this is all about.
While there’s something of the raising Synthwave genre on Mirko’s music, he’s much more pop oriented, heavily influenced by Giorgio Moroder and the Italo Disco scene / synth pop.
Sure, ”Return To Neon” isn’t rocking at all – not the typical music we feature here – but even guitarist Michael Palace (First Signal, Angelica, Toby Hitchcock) performs & produced one song here, and the album as a whole is a true ’80s culture product, so we think it deserved to be featured on this blog.
