I am a new fan of Colony 5's music. I recently got into their brand of synthpop/futurepop earlier this summer when I started listening to their music online. I think the first Colony 5 song I heard and loved was "Plastic World". After checking other Colony 5 songs, I decided to order it through an independent record label. While I was waiting for the cd, I downloaded Colonisation which I loved. I recently got Fixed in the mail after a rather lengthy wait. It automatically solidified me as a huge fan of the duo. I am hopelessly addicted to the melodies and crisp dance beats. All of the songs makes me want to get up and dance. There is not one single song on the album that I did not enjoy.

..this will be a great buy as well. I heard of Colony 5 in 2002 when I listened to their single: Colony 5. I really enjoyed it, but forgot about them for a few years, until I rediscovered them. They are a great band if you like synthpop. They have changed their style since their first album; Lifeline, but it still has the same great sound that they had back then.

If you like Covenant, you'll like these guys, too.

We're almost at the end of 2005 but this will be a year we won't forget when we refer to the swedish band Colony 5. At the beginning of this year we saw the release of "Fixed", the third full album from this band, a record full of energy, good hooks and great futurepop vibe. The band has matured into a blend of the best futurepop sound on the planet with touches of synthpop, great vocals and fine programming. The songs are simply amazing and varies from the melancholic "Fallen Star" to the club friendly super-hit "Plastic World" and the anthem-like "A new world arise".

This masterpiece titled "Fixed" is the best release from this band as for now, but don't be surprised if their next record will be far superior to this as this band goes better and better with time. This album is a must for real synthpop and futurepop fans.

I got turned on to this by a DJ friend through the song "A New World Arise" which is worth the price of the CD alone. I also enjoy "Plastic World" and "Fusion" (and another song which I forget the name of). The rest of the album tends to sound the same like any other 3rd/4th tier synth-pop band. Overall, it's like a lighter, less filling version of Covenant (my favorite band of the genre). This CD is my "fix" between their albums.
