Synopsis

Album Description

Neuropa is an ultra-catchy synthpop band from Australia that will have you singing along after your first time through their album. The melodic vocals glide over the catchy synthesizer hooks and danceable beats to make almost perfect electronic pop music. While Neuropa pulls influences from bands like Erasure, Elegant Machinery, Pet Shop Boys, and others, they perfect their own approach to stand out as one of the top bands in the scene.

CD Reviews

Watered down at best.

Analog | Planet Earth | 11/04/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Neuropa may boast influences such as the Pet Shop Boys and Erasure, but you sure wouldn't know it by listening to this album. Sounds to me like they were more influenced by the Backstreet Boys and Savage Garden. The music is ultra cheesy. Not once at any point in time did I ever think Erasure. Maybe lyrically, but then again lyrics have never been a strong point for Erasure. Take away all the charisma of Andy Bell, the lyric genius and wit of the Pet Shop Boys, and any edge whatsoever, replace that with a frontman more suitable for American Idol competition, and you have Neuropa. Nothing stands out about this album at all. It's way too slick sounding and over-procuced. Very typical of just about every band on A Different Drum's label. If you like the sounds of Intuition, Iris and the Echoing Green, you'll probably like this, however I need something with a little more substance. I will say that this is a step in the right direction compared to most bands flooding today's synth rock scene, but nowhere near the caliber of the Pet Shop Boys. Not even close."

A synth-masterpiece

"Folks, it's one of the best synth albums of all time and Neuropa just keeps rolling on with their new album Born. Don't miss out on this one of a kind album."
