KOMPUTER release Brand New album, "Synthetik" ( the follow up to 2002’s "Market Led" ) a rigorously electronic excursion into a world of Russian cosmonauts, rubbish compactors and mobile phone ringtones ( as witnessed on Limited first single "Headphones And Ringtones", their paean to a time you could listen to songs on the radio ) Definately in the thrall of mighty teutonics Kraftwerk and synth-pioneer John Foxx "Synthetik" is a mesmerising blend of spacious sequencer melodies, gorgeous minamilistic synth sweeps and perfectly intoned vocoder / vocals...
For "Synthetik" ( the band’s third album ) the music has gradually evolved, maturing into a return to the more traditional Electro sound of the first album, "The World Of Tomorrow", with the incorporation of a more experimental and contemporary electronica approach. Opening with the futuristic "International Space Station", a farewell song to planet Earth, the album looks to the future, takes a slightly nostalgic look at time’s past, nature ( with the pounding, relentless Rain ) and then, unapologetically tells the listener how it is with the artisan anthem "What We Do". Komputer continue their rewriting of pop music with Kraftwerk as heroes. Essential.
