It's really hard to update this blog when the Internet connection is about 12kbit/s. I cannot really stream anything, so I can't listen to new tunes. I am too broke to establish a connection ($90) here, so I am using my phone (1.5 GB per month... and I use that in a day). So, I do apologize. It's a been a creeping-lava-like progression for me. I did lose my job (despised it!) and found another the same day. But, the background check takes a week. I can say that where I live is nothing short of paradise. It's clean, safe, sunny, and friendly. Great views everywhere I go. I think I could have a future here, but that will require continued sacrifice (ie, going without American life-style luxuries).
Snowy Norway's Apoptygma Berzerk has this announcement: "Those
of you held on to their cassette decks over the past years are finally
rewarded with new food for their players: "7" is being re-released on
cassette, including no less than 13 bonus tracks, and coming in 7 (!)
different colors to choose from. The edition is strictly limited to 200 units." You can order your copy here.
Don't forget that Apop has covered Major Tom (Coming Home).
Chicago's In On It shared these delicate tracks with me. I really like the darker sound-bank used here. Another example of the varied forms of Synthpop.
Stay with me. More updates when the dust settles. More frequent thoughts on Twitter: @djtalbot

Do you know if 80's synthpop artist Solitaire is going to release a 30th anniversary cd in 2015 to celebrate the 85 release of his single System Overload b/w Nothing Left to Say. It was mentioned on minimal wave and a synth blog in the Netherlands, but now there is no news? Do you know anything about it. Ps love your cast. Thx.
