Equatronic – Assistand Views
Here’s a well put together song from the German Synth Pop duo Equatronic. The balance between the parts I think is beautifully done.
Aesthetic Perfection – Living The Wasted Life (Machineries Mix)
Here’s a hard hitting track from Aesthetic Perfection. I really like the balance of the harsh vocals against the much sweeter synth line.
Conetik – Heart
Here’s one that’s not nearly as well known as it should be – a cover of the Pet Shop Boys song “Heart” done by the Norwegian Synth Pop duo Conetik.
Imperative Reaction – Only In My Mind
Here’s a catchy track from Imperative Reaction. I’m really big on transitions, and though it’s as simple as it could possibly be, I’m captivated with the synth line that takes us out of the chorus. The hook is addictive, and the verses serve well to build tension going into it. The synth solo brings in that extra burst of energy that makes the track a hit on the dance floor, or the floor in your room.
Bruderschaft-Forever (Original Club Mix)
Bruderschaft was a super group formed to produce this single to raise money for cancer research. You may recognize the voice of Ronan from VNV Nation.
Necessary Response – Spilling Blood
Necessary Response is a side project of Daniel Graves, who is perhaps better known for his work under the name Aesthetic Perfection.
This copy of the track sounds a little cleaner than the other copies on youtube.
Helalyn Flowers – E-Race Generation
No, this song doesn’t make any more sense once you can tell what all the lyrics are.
Pati Yang – Switch Off The Sun
Switch Off The Sun is an intensely smooth and laid back Trip-Hop track from Polish singer Pati Yang. Unfortunately a search of the rest of her solo work finds nothing else quite like it.
