|
![]() | Wrath by Iris

|
![]() | N-Gin by Neuroactive
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.14 It has been a few years since Neuroactive put out a new album, and finally it's here! Punchy, sharp electronics, but this time with different vocalists on some tracks. A new path for Neuroactive.

Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $41.36 Wow, the production on this 2nd Leiahdorus album is off the charts! I consider this one of the truly ground-breaking releases in the synthpop / electronic pop market. The songs are very meaningful.
|
![]() | For A Special Moment by Wave In Head
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.11 This third album is Wave In Head's best so far, with bright, sharp electronics and catchy songs. It's moody at moments (in the classic Depeche Mode sense of the word), and uplifting at other moments.
|
![]() | In Different Things by Rename
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.39 Rename is a new star in the synthpop scene for upbeat, uplifting tunes that have the old-school Pet Shop Boys vibe. A slow song from the album is hear turned into a club hit, and the bonuses are fun!

|
![]() | New Order: Item
Buy used from: $17.94 Yeah, finally a complete video collection from an 80's hero of mine! Some of their old videos were hugely entertaining, others were kind of boring, but it's nice to have them all in one place.
|
![]() | Revolution of the Heart by Howard Jones
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $3.99 Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of the last couple Howard Jones albums (kind of mellow and acoustic for my tastes), but this new album in 2005 is a beauty, returning to the electronic pop that I missed.
