Yeah man... Aphex Twin is a lot more than just 'music'. It's very intentional.
As for retrowave... RARELY is there a good retrowave song with lyrics. Unless it's like 18 Carat Affair or something. Basically never like retrowave with words. Luckily it usually doesn't have any.
Retrowave should have no words. Ever.
There's a few good songs with lyrics, but they're never good unless the singing style is also in line with the retro sound. Retrowave music with 'new' sounding vocals makes me fucking sick.
Here are a couple examples of retrowave with good vocals (if it's GOTTA have 'em)...
His voice has a good 80s kinda sound somehow... still slightly cringey but bearable and almost definable as "good".
Now that is one of my favorite retrowave tracks afflicted with vocals. I would even go so far as to say I like her voice and she does a great job encapsulating that 80s vibe.
