Electraparade

Oh, two posts in one night. Aren't you lucky? (As some Roman guy said, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. I don't know how that's relevant though)

So this is Electraparade:


Twelve electro classics for the twenty-first century, you see? It says so on the front. Well, more strictly, eleven electro classics - one of them is by us:
  1. Martin Degville "Planet Bi"
  2. Electraset "Just Another Number"
  3. Alien 6 "Close to Perfection"
  4. Starbase 109 "Engineering Workshop"
  5. Electroflex "Appreciate Me"
  6. Hypernova "My Light"
  7. One Moment "Cold Stare"
  8. Neuvogue "Random Number Generator"
  9. Synthface "With Your Love" (Studio Version)
  10. Payola Disco "Skinny Girl"
  11. The Silent Age "Contrition"
  12. Silver Factory Superstars "Still Love"
The CD was put together by Electraset, who can be found there. You can track down the others on MySpace as well, which is what I did. Some of them are pretty good. Some are better than good. And others put us to shame completely. One of them comes from Birmingham.

I think if I had to choose, my favourites would have to be Starbase 109, partly because their song is excellent, partly because they have a song called Vacuum Cleaner, and partly because they wear nice hats. I would like a hat like that.

So anyway, I'll return to this subject when I've heard the CD in full, but if the samples on MySpace are anything to go by, it's a pretty good CD. Except for our track, of course.
