This is an amazing album by an incredibly underrated band. This music is an absolute joy to listen to... airy and inspiring, emotional, nostalgic. It sounds like early 80s Saturday morning cartoons and 80s Amiga games rolled into one. If you were a kid in the 80s and have even a passing interest in electronic music, this is a must buy! A great counterpoint to the very dark and aggressive electronic music I usually listen to. This is the aural equivalent of eating a Krispy Kreme donut. Soft and sweet, but energetic (sugar rush!) You can get it for free if you have Zune Pass, but its worth the $35 for an import copy... it's that good.

if you're looking for NEW music that captures the essence of those old 80s new wave sounds perfectly, than look no further than Elegant Machinery. Pure synthpop perfection from start to finish. Track listing:

I gotta say I really enjoy this album. It does have a lot of the early 80's elements to it, but has a fuller sound then anything back then did.
I normally listen to darker, harder hitting stuff, but this just grabbed my attention. Glad it did.
