Details:
This, the third release, may very well turn out to be the quintessential album from electronic artist Synth Groove. All the musical ingredients that fueled the 2006 debut album 'View From The Green Room' as well as it's follow-up 'Robots Are People Too' are still in place along with a few new twists, such as synthesized guitar and a Moog synthesizer, which was added to the electronic arsenal to spice things up musically. The album features twelve new electronic songs recorded entirely by synthesizers (lots of synthesizers!).

The album gets things started right with the semi-instrumental âI Was A Teenage Synthesizerâ - the title paying homage to the sci-fi flicks of the 1950âs. The music is pure Synth Groove and one of the best club/dance tracks on the album. âShock Wavesâ is heavily synth-laden and its mid-tempo sound and style sounds like early 90âs Depeche Mode. Next comes the somewhat bizarre âI Hear Voicesâ (the TOPY Mix), which features lots of strange voice effects. The drum beat enters in 'Time Is Ticking Backwardsâ which has a really cool melody line and a dreamlike quality about it. âDisconnectâ is part synthpop, part rock, and all electronic. Next up is 'Me And My Machine' which continues the alienation theme and the cold, detached vocals and steady electronic beat make it one of the standout tracks. âNever To Marsâ is the most techno sounding song here and well suited for the dance floor. Things slow down again for the instrumental âThe Dream Sequenceâ and pick right back up again when âListen For The Robotsâ kicks in next with its Kraftwerk-like metal beat and vocoder vocals. The most synthpop sounding track is âMechanical Girlâ (gotta check out the lyrics) which is followed by the instrumental âTransportâ with lots of layered synths. The final song is the title track âSpirits & Angelsâ and this song is a departure in the sense that it features mostly a guitar-based sound (played via synthesizer) and is a true rocker once it kicks into gear.

If you have any of the other Synth Groove albums or if youâre into electronic music, you really should check this out.
