the names - swimming

full length album with an interesting vibe. feels very post punk, yet breaching into new wave with some synthesizers backing the main sound. male vocals and a full band.

College - Secret Diary

some amazingly catchy sounds reminiscent of the 80's with a bit of disco thrown in there. personally not a fan of disco but the awesomeness shines through and wins the battle for me. give this a listen if you love electronic sounds! it has vocals on several tracks, but is mainly instrumental.

plus instruments - big man

kick ass minimal synth punk. also treated some female vocals on this one. good mix of sounds and rhythm here, its hard to sum up the album with one genre.

au pairs - sense and sensuality

for whatever reasons, i didnt check out this group for a long time. possibly a case of seeing the band name and thinking its another group. know what i mean? anyway, i really enjoy gang of four. particularly the varied arrangement of everything, inventive patterns, timing etc. au pairs really captures all of that same beauty and does it with the perfect female voice. politically charged lyrics will have you listening over and over.

drinking electricity - overload


primarily female vocals , backed by minimal drum / synthesizers / guitar. favorite track on this was EASILY "good times" . love how she sings on that track and its a great pick me up track. really puts you in a good mood. the rest of the album has some jams and generally every track at least utilizes interesting synthesized sounds.

Ensemble Pittoresque - For this is past


very cool synthesizer / drum machine / sampler / vocal work! the songs are pretty varied but overall maintain a sort of aesthetic similar to synth based krautrock , but leaning toward early electro and new wave. i particularly enjoyed the tracks with vocals. very well written stuff.
