How many of you guys in here are into the Synthpop/Future Pop scene? When I say Synthpop/Future Pop, I'm referring to bands such as:

De/Vision
Wolfsheim
VNV Nation
Apoptygma Berzerk
Elegant Machinery
Forgiving Iris
Neuroactive
etc.

I'm not as into the Futurepop scene as I once was, but I still like some of the acts affiliated with it.

I would love to hear some current viable new wave/synthpop influenced artists, but all I've heard so far are subpar bands from Omaha that sing in embarrasingly fake British accents about things that they don't seem to know much about.

Fill me in...

A Different Drum.com features all new synthpop bands and some older ones as well. A nice site to learn about this sort of music.

I've appropriated a few VNV albums from the net and for the most part like what I've heard. It gets a little repititious after awhile, but that's just me.

I'm really getting into alot of the electro bands that are out there:

I know I'll probably get into trouble for saying this, but is what is so good about Fishcherspooner? I downloaded the CD and it's very bland synthpop which I deleted after listening.
