Don't take what Panorama is saying wrong, Republic...it's just his way of saying "Welcome aboard, and keep on sharing".

In fact this is 7" single.

So this is the 4AD band that split into Renegade Soundwave and the Wolfgang Press. Intriguing... doesn't sound like either band.

Their sole album was reissued on CD recently. Can't say it's synthpop though.

Thanks Hutter!
That's important.
[:)]
OK folk, for me Mass are more minimal than synth, but who cares?
I posted them because of entire feeling of their sound.
Sorry!

...some more great tracks [;)]

<a href="http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=9C07EBBE0BD276E4" target="_blank"><strong>Baard - Savior For The Nations</strong></a>

taken from the only 7" of Alexander Bard's solo project. Later (much later...)he becomes famous with his band <strong>Army Of Lovers</strong>

<a href="http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=76258D276DE3D6B8" target="_blank"><strong>The Twins - I`m Staying Alive</strong></a>

a very great german synthpop band with one of their best songs. Very wellknown for their chart hit <strong>Ballet Dancer</strong> in 1983. This track is taken from the "pre-chart"-area LP <strong>Modern Lifestyle</strong>. Much better, more innocent and simply great [;)]

Was that translation courtesy of the Huttertron 3000?[:D] Don't worry Republic...NWO lesson #1, nobody listens to Panorama.

BTW: I really liked "You and I".

I like the first 3 LPs...
This was nice pop-music.

In my opinion, after that they changed into too much into cheasy chart stuff. They were best, when theyare young and not pushed by money or something else. Just like it is with soooo many really good bands.
After a little sucess they changed their style and began to record boring popular music.

I'd say their fourth LP "Until the end of time" is good, too, though - as Plastikmann stated - a bit cheezy.

Is there a web site with their discography somewhere (preferably in English)?

They had a minor (club) hit here back in '82 or '83 called "Face to Face - Heart to Heart." Based on what I've heard, it was the only good song they did. Somebody posted the video here some time back, which I'd never seen before. Looked like it had -- at most -- a 5 dollar budget.
