"This has got to be the coolest new finding amongst plenty of underground electronic/synthpop movements outhere. "Lifeline" presents us with well-crafted electronic tunes that should make you jump out of your seat & dance all night long. Musically, Colony 5 sounds very similar to De/Vision; or if you're not familiar with De/Vision, you should know what Depeche Mode sounds like. Yes, underground synth-based bands got lots of their influence from mainstream electronic groups such as: Depeche Mode, Cause & Effect, Camouflage,etc.....The whole album mostly consists of upbeat tunes. It's not an old synthpop at all. While synthpop may have been originated in the 80's, Colony 5's music is the infusion of modern electronic plus with some EBM and plenty of synthesizers. It's a bliss !! You should give this one a try. Highly recommend it ..... Peace !!"
Awesome CD!

"I loved these guys since the first time I heard them in 2002. This album has great sounds to it. If you like Covenant; another great synthpop band from Sweden, you'll love these guys, too. A must have for anybody who likes Colony 5 already."
