Various Artists "State of Synthpop 2003"

In late 2002, A Different Drum planned together with several other synthpop labels like Ninthwave Records, Nilaihah Records, Alfa Matrix, Cohaagen Music, and many more to put together a huge collection of synthpop that would present more than 80 different bands in one package. It was hoped that this collection would serve as a sort of snapshot of the modern synthpop scene, covering many styles, sounds, and moods. This huge library of music could be both a tool to new synthpop fans, allowing them to explore a lot of different artists with a single low-priced package, but could also be a release worth collecting even for the die-hard synthpop fan who knows these bands by heart. So forget the futile and time-consuming attempt to find and download tracks by so many emerging synthpop bands on the internet, and just pick up this 5-disc set, and the work will be done for you, all in high-quality sound and fun, informative packaging. We hope you enjoy this "State of Synthpop" collection!
