  Synthpop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These include the exploitation of artificiality (the synthesizers are not used to imitate acoustic instruments), the use of mechanical rhythms and "feel", the use of vocal arrangements as a counterpoint to the artificiality of the instruments, and the use of ostinato patterns as an effect.

 Hard Wired Synthpop Reviews
Theirs is a very commercial synthpop sound, something that often fails to impress but not this time; this is a fine effort, full of constantly engaging tracks with Muller proving himself a fine vocalist throughout.
Synthpop can be a bit hit and miss but this is definately a hit as while Pleasures Remain don't so anything startlingly new or original what they do they know how to do well and that's good enough for me.
I hope they'll do this more often in future as it would be a shame for such a talented band to limit themselves to what are, pretty much, musical impressions of another band thus endangering their longevity in the process, which is something I well believe could happen.

 American Synthpop - Release Music Magazine Spotlight
A decade back, when I was a die-hard synthpop fanatic (yes, even more so than I am now), I only knew of one or two US based synthpop acts.
As for stylistic differences, there are obviously some, but I don't think they are so important because the bands I work with make music in their own sound, and that's what I like about them, they have talent and their own identity rather than some kind of national signature.
With more and more hungry synthpop bands popping up all over the world in general and the US in particular, it seems the future of synthpop will continue as it has ever since it vanished from the spotlight in the eighties.

My absolute favourite is "Reasons" because it shows Dan's skill to produce very danceable modern SynthPoP based on early 80s electronic sounds.

As far as this site is concerned, I've actually decided to try and re-dedicate myself to making this a good resource for synthpop music rather than the stagnant site it's been for the past few years.
