Talking about my personal synthpop revival, this is another record I’ve listened to a lot in recent weeks. It steers towards futurepop but still maintains an easy tempo and calm sound, oriented to headphones rather than dancefloor.
VH x RR – 101
Modesty Beast – Majesty
Sometimes futurepop can be more cheese than actually good music. This is futurepop, which is actually good music.
Asteria – Faderhead
EBM and futurepop from cyberpunk atmospheres to the dancefloor.
Assemblage 23 – Mourn
Just that EBM slash futurepop that I would expect from an Assemblage 23 album. The Deluxe Edition’s remixes added pretty much nothing to the experience, so that basic set of ten tracks are fine as they are.
