This British synthpop duo plays a light, romantic style which appeals greatly to fans of classic bands like Erasure or OMD. The music is soothing and catchy, yet still in the alternative synthpop vein.

Bouncing back from tragedy.......2003-03-02
Following the death of member Barney Miller, the band regrouped and resurfaced with an excellent, if more down-tempo follow-up to their Incoming debut.
While the tracks may be in a more mellow vein, there are few low points to this disc.From the opening strains of Mistakes to the final notes of Let the Sandman Descend, this is a solid, well-written, and accessible album. Standout tracks include the above 'Mistakes' (which blends nicely into 'All I Need is Now'), the first single 'Stranded', 'Casino', and 'Leaving This Place'.
Musically similar to Erausre and OMD they may be, but this release shows Blue October have a sound and perspective all their own.
melancholic & happiness.......2003-02-28
A perfect album, neccessary for every synthpop fan.
Second album does not disappoint.......2003-02-26
I was surprised at how well this second album matched their debut. Certainly the music has evolved, but the newer complexity managed to infuse tracks with added depth. A new vocalist would normally throw a band off its tracks, but if you didn't know about it, you wouldn't necessarily hear it.
The music is pure synthpop, with catchy melodies and great programming. I wouldn't categorize Blue October as a dark, gothic sound, nor would I call them Erasuresque. I would place them somewhere in the middle and say that there is an emphasis on good song structure and melody without forced repetition. Check out their debut album, Incoming and read my review of that album as well!
a total gem to own...........2003-02-26
this is one hell of a cd. it is what synthpop is all about. it has the depeche/erasure style to it, yet it has its own sound. for me, casino sticks out as one of the loveliest songs to come out in quite some time.
note: their first cd called incoming, is also an excellent cd. pick them both up and double the pleasure. their is some other band with the same name.. please don't confuse them.
please get this cd and support the synthpop movement. the added bonus, is that you get one fabulous cd for your trouble :-))
A great follow up.......2003-02-26
