Fuck you, what about new order

I wish I had an analog synth, but they're so bloody expensive

It was good, in the 60s

Anybody remember Lazare and how he killed himself?
synth-pop is cool. You know it's cool to listen to this chic shit when you're in that nihilistic mood. the austere stuff is a bit too overt w/ the nihilism, but when you get to the infusion of romanticism it's p cool. Also, the more funk you can get out of it the better.

you can do everything except "twiddle knobs" on the software version. there's no audible difference

There's are some affordable analog synths coming out these days. Unless you're looking for vintage in which case, yeah they're expensive

>>72348482
but hard synths are more fun

>>72348467
the best synthpop is the one with dark atmosphere and solid beats (e.g. kraftwerk) not that kitcky drivel (e.g. spandau ballet).

>implying there was a synthpop scene is 60s

>>72348546
ok yea lemme b clear, I don't necessarily mean The New Romantics, although Visage are good. I dunno what I mean. Kraftwerk are great, agreed!

>>72348697
visage were good indeed. not only fade to grey (that's a fantastic tune for sure).

>>72346649
>implying synthpop produced only 2 good bands
idiotic post. synthpop means much more than the knife and kraftwerk. stop being such a narrow minded prick.

I like the Human League.
Fite me.
