Just listened to both of these:
I think the jammy instrumental tracks are the best ones on the album ("Collateral", "Nocturnal", "Tokyo Night Train") along with "Crystalline". The other three tracks are pretty solid, yet mostly run-of-the-mill, synthwave tracks (although the second half of "Shadows" is catchy is hell). Overall, a great album with a moody late-night vibe.
Mega Drive said he cooked this up as a Halloween treat (while still working towards his next full-length album for later this year), and so this album turned out basically how I expected. It's a good, solid Carpenter-style tribute album that works better as a soundtrack experience more than a collection of standout songs. The two tracks that
did stick out to me though are "Survival Skills" (a full Mega Drive banger) and "Memories of the Room" (very hypnotic and chill).
