This is Todd at A Different Drum, and I promised another update this week, so here is another quick list of items that just came into the store. And beware, there are a couple SUPER HOT releases here. I’d say that some of the best music of the year is all coming out right now!
NEW ARRIVALS:
Tenek “On the Wire” $18 — This British duo is stellar with great, catchy melodies, an energetic voice, and top-notch music production. If you know the band that was called THE NINE in the 90’s, with a later dance production called ALIEN#SIX13, then you’ve heard a taste. This is probably the best of all incarnations! You can listen to the audio samples for this wonderful new album and order the CD here :

Minerve “Please” $18 — Wow, I am excited about this new album! If you ever felt like there was a dire need in the world for more high-energy, danceable releases from CAMOUFLAGE, well, just close your eyes, pop in this CD, and you’ve got what you wanted! I mean, if you’re old school and into Camouflage or Depeche Mode, or if you’re a more recent synthpop junkie who gets your kicks from every new De/Vision release, then you won’t want to miss this one, which I might add is probably better than the latest efforts by any of the other bands mentioned in this review.

If you missed the two previous Minerve albums, both of which have been out-of-print for yeras….good news! They’re back, and with bonus tracks! You can order them now 🙂
Here are three CD singles from the last few years which features some retro-flavored Italo Disco:
James Manoro “On My Mind” (MCD) $10 — This guy sings some old-school Italo style synthpop with the bouncy, dance club sound. Check out the audio samples and order the CD here :
