| | Synthpop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Synth pop song forms are generally the same as in "regular" pop music. | | | Synthpop is a style of popular music in which the synthesizer is the dominant musical instrument. | | | While it might be argued that most current popular and commercial music in the industrialized world is realized via electronic instruments, synth pop has its own stylistic tendencies which differentiate it from other music produced by the same means. |

| | Think of ABC as the Elvis Presley of synth pop. | | | On it, the band's sixth album, the leather-clad synth pop pioneers managed to isolate the most addictive elements of their music and songwriting style: industrial rhythms, synthetic textures, and emotive, socially charged lyrics. | | | Synth pop is more than just epic dance-floor symphonies and angular haircuts. |

| | The Carpenters and Abba are examples of pop bands. | | | Tangerine Dream was an early synth band, but the most influential exponents of synth pop were the German band Kraftwerk who used powerful 'industrial' sounds: Autobahn (1974) was one of their many hits. | | | Synth continued in the late 1970s with Gary Numan and David Bowie, and into the 1980s with bands like Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, New Order and Visage. |

| | Pop music reviews will focus on a number of artists and bands, not limited to one specific sound. | | | The term Pop can be misleading in these times as Popular music is actually a culmination of genres. | | | The twins are at home in the techno synth world, I could have done without the bit of banter the two try and pull off between some of the tracks, but hey it's their project not mine. |

| | By 1984, synth pop had begun to die out, but the music had helped establish the synthesizer as a primary instrument in mainstream pop music during its time in the spotlight. | | | Synth Pop was one of the most distinctive subgenres of new wave. | | | It doesn't pop up all that often on either Human League releases or various-artists collections, which means this is all the more valuable for collectors, who may also enjoy the "Audio Liner Notes" which feature the group retelling their history. |

| | Initially, this took the form of bands such as And One combining synth-pop sensibilities to EBM inspired rhythms - a practise later advanced by the band Melotron and the Funker Vogt side-project Fictional, and also the emergence of a number of synth-pop inspired bands from the early darkwave/electo-goth collective (most notably Deine Lakaien and Wolfsheim). | | | This preluded the rise of the 'future pop' scene around the turn of the millenium, with EBM bands such as Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation and countless others adopting a more 80s-synth oriented feel, whilst new European/Scandinavian acts, such as Merge, Echo Image and NeuroticFish began to establish themselves with a similar sound. | | | German pioneers Kraftwerk are usually name-checked by most electronic pop bands worthy of the name - the German quartet producing two noticably pop oriented albums (The Man Machine and Computer world) in 1978 and 1981 respectivley. |

| | Kraftwerk invented synth-pop music |
| | A shortened version of the 22-minute title track was released in the U.S. as a single and was a novelty hit. | | | By 1974, the acoustic instruments were giving way to synthesizers, and Kraftwerk found brief commercial success with the album "Autobahn," which reached No. 5 on the pop charts. | | | Through the '70s Kraftwerk perfected the synthesizer pop song, gradually abandoning free form for tightly composed shorter pieces closer to radio-format rock. |

| | Various Artists: Electro Nouveau: Tech, Synth Pop, and Nu-Electro - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Electroclash is a genre that practically begs for the ultimate compilation album, and the Moonshine Records label has made a valiant attempt, with the release of Electro Nouveau: Tech, Synth Pop, and Nu-Electro. | | | Count 2 Infinity's "Popism" is a rather good blend of synth pop and trance music, while Northern Lite's remix of '80s nightmare Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Everybody Loves You" actually improves on the original. | | | If the best cuts were pared down to a single CD, it would make for a terrific listen, but instead we're stuck with only 11 songs on a 23-track album that are worth listening to; hardly worth the price of a double CD. |

| | St. Eve - Interview: Top Synth Pop |
| | I looked as far back as the 70's and decided that David Bowie, Roxy Music and Elton John in their glam years, where the guitars were harder, was a good start. | | | I decided that since I have synthesizers and guitars and it is song oriented and it is sung (unlike much "electro" that I love, but there I am in my underwear again) that I should find other people who do this kind of mix and go from there in my categorization. | | | So, I figured "glam" makes room for the synths, my primary instrument, and for the rock qualities. |

| | After releasing a few pop records, Eno stunned the masses with a recording of just analog synthesizers. | | | Their approach to rock was inspiring, their songs were simple in nature, and all their records featured two recurring themes: power chords and analog synthesizers. | | | Fronted by singer Dave Gahan and synth innovator Martin Gore, Depeche Mode's sound was reminiscent of early Kraftwerk, with its lush synthesizers and simple drum beats. |

| | Though the latter half of this song does conjure a vaguely majestic Zeppelin “Kashmir” tinged vibe with the stop/start of power chords and swirling string arrangements, it doesn’t quite reach the plateau I think the band was aiming at. | | | This is a thoroughly beautiful song - one that could bring tears to your eyes with its undulating waves of synths and emotionally dramatic vocals. | | | The Tears Of Things, Stauffer’s sophomore effort, is a brooding and sullen masterpiece, culling the darkest of piano techniques and weaving them together to create one of the most chilling and somber listening experiences you might have other than going straight to the sources of Liszt or Chopin themselves. |
