3.0 out of 5 stars Sparkles! But too much repetition., February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Melody (Audio CD)

The first three songs are excellent and infectious pop. Unfortunately after that, most of the tunes take on a monotonous I, IV, & V chord structure. I found myself aching for a 'minor' to be thrown in to clear my palet. If more songs on "Melody" were as interesting as the first three, I'd give this album 5-stars. Three-songs, three-stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars synths synths synths!!!, February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Melody (Audio CD)

joy electric is sooo . . . different! completely original. the strangely human vocals combined with the otherworldly synths create a totally detached yet somehow comforting sound. i love techno muzik, but joy electric's songs go deeper than say those of prodigy or heaven 17.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anything by Ronnie Martin freakin' rocks!, August 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Melody (Audio CD)

I highly reccommend you give his music a try. This album- his first Joy Electric consists of pretty pop ballads and love songs. Totally synthesizer, but really original.
