"This compilation was the result of several synthpop-type labels (such as A Different Drum, Cohaagen Records, Ninthwave Records, Nilaihah Records, Alpha Matrix Records, Hand Held Halo Productions, Intrapop Records, DSPB, and several others) banding together to create one massive compilation that would be affordable and also give synthpop fans a chance to, in one fell swoop, check out a wide assortment of the many newer (and some not-so-new) synthpop bands on the scene. In fact, there are over 80 bands represented here! I've written in much greater length elsewhere about this excellent release, but suffice it to say there's a track here for every single type of Electronic Pop preference I can think of. Feel free to email me through my profile if you want the link to the full-length review of this title. Truely, a very excellent snapshot of the wonderful Electronic underground that needs to be heard to be believed!"
Great value, great music!

"IT is hard to go wrong for this price. You get to sample 85 (85!) bands' music. The stuff here runs the gamit from EBMish stuff to dead on old skol synthpop. In fact you will hear just about every kind of electronic pop that is being made today. If you like to explore new music in the pop vein then you need to check this out. My only complaint is that it is almost too much! I will be exploring this set for months to come."
