This has got to be the best electronic pop album of 2003. This was one of three CD's I got for christmas, and all of them were good ... but lately Ganymede has turned out to be one of my favorite bands coming out of the new school of electronic pop. This CD certainly hasn't changed that ...If you liked the electro pop music of the early 80's, try this on for size.
Ganymede have this unique mix of vocoders, electronic analogue synths and drum machines, and vocals which at times remind me of Pet Shop Boys or Kraftwerk, yet with a modern club beat.
I invite you to have a listen at http://www.electrogarden.com/artists/ganymede/ (some tracks are up there) ... "Distance" is by far the best on the album (for me) but really all the tracks are good.
The best thing about this CD is, it's only $13, and it's a 2 disc set with a 2nd CD full of remixes (including an offbeat grunge mix by Asheville NC band The Lost Gospels). Not only that, you get a bonus music video clip for your PC, and also a PC game as well!
The band's official website is http://www.ganymede.us ... strongly recommended music!
