Detox

[Compilation #152]
Download the brand new PToS free online compilation: Detox.

After curating 150 compilations, I’ll take the liberty of sharing one that has nothing to do with synthpop (if you only like that genre, don’t download this compilation).
I listen to synthpop several hours a day, and every now and then I get saturated. I need a change of “air”. I explore very distant genres and from time to time I discover some gems. This compilation brings together some of those hidden gems that I discovered.
I insist: download this compilation only if you like musical exploration 😉

Many times you may have asked yourself “what is the life of that artist of the ’80s today?”. Many of those synthpop/new wave artists who peaked in popularity during the ’80s or ’90s are still working today or have released material from time to time beyond the year 2000. I set out to put together the best songs that those artists released during this century, and here’s the result.
This compilation brings together 18 songs by synthpop/new wave (and related genres) artists that you may have lost track of. It includes OMD, A-Ha, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Sandra, The Twins, and Howard Jones, among others!
