great synthpop tracks

Postby Plastikmann » Wed Apr 12, 2006 6:04 am

what's about trading some really great minimal/synthpop tracks, which are not any compilation or on one of this illegal CD-R bootleg compilations ?

here is my first suggestion:

<a href="http://download.yousendit.com/8C7AD6A86D0D0934" target="_blank"><strong>Transparent Illusion - Vortex</strong></a>

Thanks Plastikmann:

I've wanted to hear some of their stuff since I saw their lp sell for almost $2000.00 on eBay a while back.

Great songs.
elektrikblu, I really liked your post. I have never heard Dalek i before.

Interesting stuff about their lp selling for BIG bucks on ebay.
Thanks again!

Dalek i/ Dalek I Love You
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek_I_Lo ... %28band%29

Glad to share. A friend in college 1980 (yikes!) turned me onto the single and I already had a fondness for The Nornal, John Foxx, and Gary Numan so I really liked it. Thanks to SoulSeek I found the album and such. But if you're unfamiliar with them, read the brief band info. It's amazing how interconnected all these creative bands we've all enjoyed were. We out.

BTW, fine posts everyone.

That's a great song, but "Demented" is my absolute favorite.

I'm gonna be bad here;
These are not 80s bands, rather "00" sounds, but definitely get my vote as capturing the flavour of the early synth sound and energy, especially Adult. Please don't suck in your cheeks and stare down your noses at me.[8)]

Adult. "Scare Up the Birds";
(may sound like; Lene Lovich/Bush Tetras meets synthpop)

"Demented" is great, you are right, but a little overplayed in the last few years...

here is my favourite song from MODERNE a french synthpop band, which sounds similar to TELEX :

<a href="http://download.yousendit.com/8C9F1D7334F3A547" target="_blank"><strong>Moderne - Switch On Bach</strong></a>

--
<a href="http://www.neon-welt.de" target="_blank"><strong>NEON-WELT

28.04.06
2. NEON-WELT Festival
(with Weltklang, Trans-Active Nightzone, etc)</font-color></strong></a>
