Synopsis
Product Description Opposite Extremes is the second full-length disc from Madison, WI's STOCHASTIC THEORY, blending influences from everywhere from NEW ORDER to MESH to THE POSTAL SERVICE. This is electro-pop with an indie-rock edge, balancing dancefloor appeal with increasingly complex rhythms and arrangements accompanied by project founder Chuck Spencer's introspective lyrics. Featuring 10 new tracks, including a cover of R.E.M.'s classic 'Losing My Religion' and club remixes by Stochastic Theory and Caustic, Opposite Extremes begins where ST's breakout debut 'Soliloquy' left off - exploring themes of isolation, frustration, and uncertainty while picking up the pieces of a broken heart and a broken life. Far beyond the constraints of your typical ''synthpop'', Stochastic Theory is an increasingly original act on the electronic forefront and is steadily building a following thanks to inclusion on high profile live bills including ASSEMBLAGE 23, ICON OF COIL, and STROMKERN.

CD ReviewsIntrospective, poetic and highly danceable! Michael A. Ventarola | New Jersey | 11/09/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "For those seeking underground EBM/Synthpop music that will keep you dancing, go to the artists website to sample some of these highly creative songs. The lyrics are poetically appealing while avoiding any self pity in spite of the heartbreak of the thematic contents. More amazingly is how this artist was able to self-harmonize on all the tracks, singing in various ranges and octaves, making this release sound as though it had a bevy of backup vocalists. Do seek this one out, you won't be disappointed!"
