It has been a good while since I've review a synth-pop/electro-pop cd. Alphabet Girls exclusive release is a powerful poppish record packed with female vocals and songwriting skills with today's modern and retro 80's sound. Innovative strong melodies and danceable beats lush with radiant energy. Some of the tracks will remind you of Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Electric, Kraftwerk, Berlin, Bronski Beat, and many others. Catchy melodies and good intro on all tracks which will grab your ear for attention. Top notch production and deeply cool electronic atmospheric state of the art synth-pop technique. The band can dominate the college radio and internet stations and clubs with "Picture Of You", "Baby's Got A Gun", "Blue Train", and "Information Highway". The band mid-tempo tracks shows their soft side; "Send My Love Around The World" and my two favorites "Camera" and "The World Is Running Out Of Control". London based duo Alphabet Girls maybe a new-comer in the underground music scene, but their first debut "Beatnik Europe" is the best crafty possible album they have deliver
