A definite must-buy, not only for the tracklisting but also for the chance to make a donation.

Here´s another URL, especially for the synthpop fans in Europe:

INDIETECTIVE Mailorder Store (http://www.indietective.de/)

I´m sure they will have this DCD in stock ASAP.

Must hear those versions. Sounds great.

Thanks. :)

Just got my copy of this 2 cd set --- one word : AWESOME!!! I guess new wave is called synthpop nowadays!! I am enjoying all these new bands!!! Thanks for the infos!!

Hal

I just got my copy sent to me over the weekend. I have to agree. AWESOME!! I love hearing modern synthpop bands take on old classic new wave songs. My favorite tracks are:

Shades of Grey - Lips Like Sugar, No Decay - Nobody's Diary, Echo Image - Neverending Story, Reflected Image - Today, and Point of View - Dreaming.

:) ;) :D I haven't stop listening to this yet!

Dang...it´s still not listed at Indietective´s... :(

So I guess I have to go the long way and order it directly from the US.

These tracks bring back fond memories.. :)

WOW , these modern synthpop bands are awesome. I gotta check them out more. I was reading on the site and saw that Dark Distant Spaces were actually this band who sang Fashion back in 88'!!! Man, I've been searching for this song for the longest time!

I have the Dark Distant Spaces single for "Fashion". It's really incredible and has a B-side that is amazing. :) I *love* that song. I also have a radio show, I'll pm the site to you, don't want to post it yet another time here. The shows features a lot of modern synthpop bands (along with some other stuff).

WAVE, a different drum has the comp. I'm sure Todd wouldn't mind shipping it out to Germany for you. Good luck!

Can anyone give me a recommendations on these following bands:

Beborn Beton
Intact
Shades of Grey
New Concept
Silent Promises


Thanks

I can only recommend two albums, since I don't have any full lengths by the others, just songs on comps, etc.

Beborn Beton - "Nightfall"
Shades of Grey - "The Longest Day"

These are both excellent albums. You might also like Avant Garde. Their newest album, "Certified & Tested" is very good. Enjoy.

Thanks Xis...e-mailed to Todd, and he told me how to order it from here.
