Editorial Reviews

Synthetic Vision

"This is one of the best American synthpop bands and releases I have ever heard ... an excellent debut release with strong, catchy melodic tracks that still hold an '80s edge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Old Skool Synthpop, January 19, 2001

I got this album after hearing a remix on "Electricity" ( A cool CD with a lot of new synthpop- not a bad song on it) of one of their songs and I kept reading about them everywhere it seems. After The Fire sounds like it was made about 1984- it is not the "real" old skool of 1981, but close. The production is much fuller and busier than simple synthpop like say early OMD. All of the songs are really well thought out and well produced, none of this do the same song 10 times thing with these guys. I would rank this in my top ten for 2000 with out a doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Debut, Great Music!!, June 5, 2001

I haven't heard a debut album this good in ages. I first heard about Ganymede on the Ultravox mailing list, and being a fan of the old school synth I decided to check them out. What immediately impressed me was the use of great synth melodies along with some really intelligent lyrics. The songs range from the fast and furious "Clever Girl" to the mellow and outstanding "Modern Lies". I didn't think people cared enough to still make great music like this so let's hope Ganymede are here to stay!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great synthpop - Real throwback to the 80s, December 25, 2000

I didn't know what to think when I first bought this album. At first I thought it would be just another weak Pet Shop Boys imitation, but I was actually blown away. If I didn't know that this album was made in 1999, I would seriously think it was from the 1980s. It sounds that genuine!

If you are into synthpop, or 80s music, or just want to listen to something catchy, I really recommend this album. It's great!
