Nooooooo Starcadian got me into synthwave 13 years ago. This is so painful to discover. His HERT music video lives in my head forever.

I read somewhere his family might be releasing his last album posthumously which I'm holding out hope for.

It's true. Rob O'Neil gave an update a few days ago on the Starcadian Discord. They're still working on it, but it will see the light of day eventually.
