Moving his sound between '80s icons like John Foxx (just listen to tracks like "The lost parade" or "Captain, my captain" and you'll have flashbacks coming from "The garden" era) and Gary Numan (don't tell me you haven't never listened to gems like "Telekon" or "The pleasure principle"), Chris Ianuzzi composed a really catchy album titled AVALANCHE. The eleven tracks are capable of catching your attention immediately and after few times you listen to them you'll find their melodies appealing and you'll find yourself willing to discover how's the following song. Even if I Synthesist is based on old sounds and influenced by music of the eighties you'll be surprised to find a well balanced project where old sounds and new intuitions (see some semi ambient/techno solutions on "Paralyzed") cohabit really well. There are no flaws into the album sound / tracks and each track has convinced me at the same way. Chris' composition is already mature and he knows how to use his skills and from the photos I see that he isn't a teenager, so he must have a certain musical background already. Even if Chris is a New Yorker the sound is really British and it doesn't sound like American synthpop bands and this helps the project having its own personality which the audience can recognize immediately. If you are an electro pop lover you should check this album and if you find it difficult to find because it has been released by Satellite Symphonics (Chris' personal label), then you can wait until mid July and you can get yours checking this website http://www.endless-records.de
