This artist does the perfect to me, combining the pop elegance of the new styles of modern synthpop, and combining it with the ambient qualities of the synth at the same time. My roomie and I played this in the car, since she has a thing now for synthpop (esp. Spock), and she was saying the voice of the singer was too low for the songs. She would have preferred Marian Gold, but I say the guy’s vocals do a great job of making the music much more emotional. This is a more emotional version of synthpop, not a floorfiller CD though it could do a great job at that. The synthlines on this CD remind me of sound effects on the old videogame "Guardian Legend" (my fave game!), very simple, monologue yet very trancy. The synthlines on my favorite song on here, "Take Me’ are ones I had to hit the rewind buttons on again and again walking down the street. This group is to me par excellence of when the modern synthpop style is done right, not to mention being produced by Volker Lutz, who is in another fine example of futuristic synthpop, T.O.Y (formerly Evil’s Toy). No boom chukka, no whining about tenderness, and just pure trancey melancholy done via synth. I cannot sing this CD’s praises enough, even with my reservations about some of the new synthpop out there like Beborn Beton (grossly overrated outside of their live shows). But I’ll let the proof be in the pudding on this one. This is definitely one of the finer releases of the year so far, and I think this man may well take the now experimental ?futuristic synthpop’ sound to it’s realized state. Rating: 10. Also recommended is the latest T.O.Y. CD, "Space Radio" and Evil Toy’s "Silvertears". For more synthpop info ask our resident synthpop expert, Mauri. I’m gonna have to pass this one to him, he’ll flip! PS, don’t forget the gorgeous Italian women on the lyric sheet (never underestimate the power of Italian women!).
