The Last Concorde's “NASDAQ” comes in on funky tones accompanied by aquamarine water washing against white sand before a rapidly tumbling synth adds shape and reverberant notes refract Florida light. The main theme is transported on a prismatic synth, steeped in beachside relaxation before the punchy rhythm gives it a boost of energy.
A mid-80s Miami mood suffuses me with chilled-out feelings as the main melody dances like sparkling water rushing past the hull of a yacht, piloted by a man in a pastel suit with perfectly coiffed hair blowing in the breeze. The dominant motif has a breathy grace to it as it unfolds in a silky line and a sax contributes spirited vibrancy while the underlying pulse trickles and the drums press on.
Notes splash like droplets of ocean water spraying over a yacht's hull. Sweeping sounds slip and the cruising drum beat propels the track. Funky guitar notes entangle before the music slips to a close with an easy-going impression.
