Hello again friends! I’m sending an early update because I did get a few of the VNV Nation “Reformation 01″ boxes in stock already and thought some of you may want to jump on it early. I have more on order too, since I believe they’ll be in demand.
Tune into the pop-up radio player to hear some new music while you’re shopping :

NEW ARRIVALS:
VNV Nation “Reformation 01″ (deluxe box - 2CD+DVD) $32 — This new VNV Nation release comes in a nice hard box containing two CD’s and a DVD (European PAL format DVD, region 0). One of the CD’s features life tracks, as does the DVD. The 2nd disc features a collection of rarities and remixes, which will undoubtedly be the highlight for most fans. You can see the complete track list and order here:

Jens Bader “Lucky Streak” $12 — Just try to keep up with Jens Bader– you’ll find it hard! This guy can crank out polished synthpop tunes quickly, with about two albums per year. This latest album is the best yet with well crafted songs and his usual knack for personal, interesting lyrics. There are a couple of songs that even have a touch of Pet Shop Boys in them, which isn’t something I’d thought of before with Jens Bader. Check out the audio samples and order the CD here :

Parralox “Electricity” $14 — Here is another excellent synthpop album featuring a female lead vocalist that stands out, following up last week’s Northern Kind CD. Parralox is from Australia and they combine crisp, bouncy keyboards with a great knack for catchy pop songs and I think they have the potential to be one of the top girl-synthpop bands in the scene, along with bands like Marsheaux, Thermostatic, etc. Check out the audio samples and order the CD here :

Parralox “Sharper Than a Knife” (MCD) $11 — OK, if you like this song, which you should, since it’s awesome, then this CD presents a complete overdose of remixes. There are a whopping 14 remixes on this CD, plus links to 5 more! Listen to the song through the band’s backing video, see the track list and order the CD here :

PRE-ORDERS:
Here are two more CD singles from A Different Drum that you can pre-order now to have them shipped once they are released:
ENDLESS SHAME “Pure” (MCD) $4 — The PURE single offers a song that is purely energetic, purely catchy, and a pure electronic pop pleasure with instant club appeal. Endless Shame jumps to the top of the synthpop underground and makes a run at electronic music fans everywhere with a release that offers everything you’d want from a classic maxi-single including a handful of mixes that includes an old-fashioned extended version, a chill-out version, plus a club mix of yet another album track. (Synthpop Addict Club members need not pre-order)

SAUDADE “Like You” (MCD) $4 — Saudade once again visits some songs originally written in the late 80’s and releases them for the modern synthpop underground. With an approach that is raw and sincere, I happily presents these quirky, memorable songs for those who wish to listen and share the experience. (Synthpop Addict Club members need not pre-order)
