This British synthpop duo plays a light, romantic style which appeals greatly to fans of classic bands like Erasure or OMD. The music is soothing and catchy, yet still in the alternative synthpop vein.

Good synthpop from the UK

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's ironic that the country that first originated synthpop claims only a handful of synthpop bands today. Blue October is one of them. If you like music with catchy synth hooks and Erasure-esque melodies, then this cd is for you.The highlights include I Remember It Too, Casino, and All I Need Is Now. In the latter vocalist Ross Carter uses a variety of vocal styles to drive the song, including resembling George Michael at one point.Worth noting: please do not confuse this band with the rock band from Texas of the same name. I noticed that Amazon has both bands' cds listed under the same page."
