Synopsis

Album Description

The debut release from this catchy Electronic Synth-Pop band with strong Industrial influences, EBM dance beats and soothing vocals (that have been compared to the likes of Morrissey, Chris Isaak and Neil Tennant). Melodic, yet driven with hints of Industrial bass, Techno sounds, and Trip Hop tendencies. "Sublimation" has been dubbed "intelligent and infectiously catchy well-crafted songs" where "harsh sounds are nicely incorporated into the electro pop world of Null Device." 14 tracks of pure electro bliss that even includes "There is a Light" cover by The Smiths." A must have for fans of Depeche Mode, Wolfsheim, Pet Shop Boys, Iris, and B! Machine.

CD Reviews

WHY weren't these guys signed years ago?!?

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is amazing. I heard their stuff on mp3.com years ago, plus the occassional clubplay, but this is above and beyond what I was expecting. Not holding to one genre by incorporating elements of trip-hop, drum n' bass and even 2-step, yet all kept technically under the "synthpop" banner, Null Device makes you think there's hope for the genre again. Tracks like "Footfalls," "The Sad Truth" and "Word & Deed" make the dancefloor move while "How" and the heartbreaking "If Only For Awhile" are shoegazer synth at it's best, tipping the hat to such classic artists as Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys while still having a distinct, longing voice. Excellent, complex compositions, well-written(and gorgeously sung) lyrics, fun dance remixes(from ND and STROMKERN!!) AND a surprisingly good cover of The Smiths "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" make this disc the best and most inventive piece of work to come out in years. Buy it. Love it. Buy it again and give it to a metalhead. They won't like it but at least it'll be another one sold. Just kidding, they'll cry in the bathroom to it. Metalheads are always closet synth fans.;)"

Wearing my player out too.

"Like bloodlossgirl said, I'm also wearing my player out. This is a fantastic CD. The music is very well done and the lyrics are well thought out. The songs easily stick in your head and play on well after the CD is finished. I'm not a music expert but this is good stuff! Get it. Play it. You won't regret it."
