This compilation is an introduction to the many styles and sounds of synthpop, nu-electro, and electronic pop music in general, with a focus on futuristic and sci-fi themes.
Since synthpop's birth in the late 70's and early 80's, it has often been thought of as "futuristic", using the electronic bleeps and pulses, then later computer programing and samplers, to create pop music that breaks the typical boundaries of rock-n-roll or other more mainstream genres.
This collection puts together songs that span from synthpop's lost underground of the mid 1990's to the recent explosion of new bands and great new songs that is fueling new interest in synthpop (even if it's called by different names, like "electroclash", "nu-electro", "tech-pop", etc.). Any fan of great catchy pop songs with a lot of creativity and personality will enjoy hearing this collection. If you're a fan of sci-fi, a computer geek, an anime fan, a late-night club addict, or whatever, you may find that this is a music genre that can appeal directly to your tastes.

Customer Reviews:
Not Really what I expected.......2007-04-05
really what I expected from the description.
I enjoy songs where a catchy beat, and creative synth work enhance
good vocals and meaningful lyrics.
The tracks on this cd are exactly the opposite. In most cases an overabundance of great synth work is being wasted on lame lyrics and average vocals.
If you are interested in hearing a demo of every possible sound that
you can get out of a synthesizer, and are more into night club dance music, then you might really enjoy this collection.
music to sleep by.......2006-06-13
i found it stale an unimaginative.
i really love the synthpop sound from depechemode to kraftwerk. after hearing this collection, i thought that maybe the sound was dead and that i was just trying to relive an age past.
then i discovered FREEZEPOP and BIS. buy those and know that synthpop lives on with as much or more life than ever.
NEW BLOOD OF ELECTRO : KEEP IT UP!!.......2005-08-31
ANYTHING BOX..
SPACE AGE ELECTRO POP.......2003-04-27
All tracks are keepers but I am most partial to the Neuropa, B! Machine, Moulin Noir and Blue October tracks. Good for dancing, driving, hanging out or riding on the train.
Buy it and it will enhance your life.
