Stephen Falken

Aside from taking his pseudonym from the enigmatic nuclear-holocaust computer game programmer from seminal 80's techno-thriller Wargames, Falken is also a member of The Outrunners, a duo who relish their Italo Disco, have two feet firmly planted in the 80's and have a track forthcoming on Eskimo's Cosmic Balearic Beats Volume 2. Falken and The Outrunners are also connected with the spectacular Valerie Collective. Falken's synth-drenched four-tracker is one part Jan Hammer and one part Tangerine Dream, coming on like a forgotten John Carpenter soundtrack. It's the mid 80's movie score you never heard... Recommended.
