| French Synthpop Classic 1977 |

Space were fronted by French musician Didier
Marouani who penned Magic fly back in 1977.
It went on to reach the top spot of many
european countries and found itself at No.2
in the uk top 40 in September of that year.
Had jean michel jarre not had such a huge
success with Oxygene the previous year, the
French may well have described Marouani as
their biggest music exporter.
This has to rate as one of the best early
synthpop tracks ever

| SynthPop is Dead (SynthPop unTribute) |
 |
** UPDATE 28May07 - I've received some
e-mails about a SynthPop is Dead sequel. I
will definitely not do a sequel, as that
would be an insult to the first, which is
already a classic masterpiece. I may have
missed some bands (Alphaville, Cause &
Effect), but you get the idea. They all
sound the same anyway.
My next video will focus on a very specific
member of a very specific band. That's all I
can say for now. It's coming soon..
** UPDATE 21May07 - You people are nuts!! To
those of you who requested an MP3 of the
track, you can find it at:

I was bored this weekend and had an idea for
a toungue-in-cheek " untribute to SynthPop.
I love SynthPop but there are harsh realities
the genre is facing, lol.
At first, I was just going to record a 1
minute song without vocals but the idea got
the better of me and I ended up writing a
song and doing vocals, mixing, using lots of
photos, etc.
I would like to give credit to the local
bands in this piece:
1) Brand New Idol - An electronic band I used
to be in. Our music was really cool and
flirted w/ various styles, but in the end I
felt like I couldn't commit to it anymore.
They're still together and working on great
things and pushing the genre outside its
current envelope. You can find them on
MySpace and they have a show on Memorial Day
Weekend 2007 in CT.
2) Cosmicity - Another unsigned act that I
enjoyed for a few years, but they disbanded.
They had really nice melodies.
3) The Mystic Underground - A band we used to
play shows with here & there. They're still
together as of 2006. You can find them on
MySpace as well. They're definitely
improving with time.
4) Platform One - Nigel's Goth-esque band
before he joined Brand New Idol. You can
still find Platform One songs on My*Space.
Technical/Nerd Notes:
* Arrangement, lyrics, and all vocals by
myself
* Photos courtesy of the information
superhighway!
I know I suck, but please feel free to tell
me I suck anyway!
