S.P.O.C.K. - 1999
Star Trek, Star Wars,
... enough topics to sing about without care for
sense.
With this release S.P.O.C.K show us that pure
Synthpop can be also funny and dancy instead of
melancholic and dark. Anyway, this album is more
danceable and melodic than their previous releases.
The songs "Dr. McCoy" and "Out There"
are my favorites and in my opinion the best songs they
composed.
S.P.O.C.K. are the
funniest Synthband in the Galaxy!!!!
Just listen and enjoy
their dancy Synth without thinking about the sense
of their lyrics!!!

IRIS - Disconnect
Another
excellent release by the American synthlabel and
distributor "A Different Drum".Every
song on here is eighties influenced (that does not
mean that it sounds old-fashioned or outdated) and
very memorable. Each one has a hook to it, whether
the track be slow or fast.Overall, this is a
great album that was able to enter the German
Alternative Album Chats at Position 8!!!.
I also have to
recommend the single-releases as those include
excellent "B-Side" songs and remixes.

APOPTYGMA BERZERK - Live 1998
I was able to visit their
concert in Dornbirn during their last tour. I was
impressed by their powerful and professional
performance. That is the reason why I bought this
limited (only 1.000 pieces) Live-Release. Among the
live tracks they packed some interviews and videos
for PC on two CDs.
This CD is a must for
each who like powerful Synthetics!

POINT OF VIEW - Despair & Delight
This album
starts with a report about the dreadful war of
Serbia and continues with classic Synth. Overall,
the songs are more dancable and poppier than
pervious releases. I also recognized more dynamic
melodies and an improved singing. Songs like "Confusion"
and "Yet another ... days" invite you to
dance.
