This is what I've been doing lately. Listening to old synth stuff. It started this summer after I made the shoegazer compilations. I wanted to do a playlist for myself with new wave post-punk synth like Tuxedomoon, Cabaret Voltaire and so on. Soon I found myself in a sea of minimal wave, flexipop compilations, french new wave, and rare synth singles. It was wonderful! Anyway it's a jungle out there and here is the best (I think) of what I found. If you want to know and hear more you should visit blogs like Viva flexipop, Mutant Sounds, Soundhead, Saltyka, Minimal Wave, Old Punks Analog Cyberpunk Page, Phoenix Hairpins to name a few. It's alot good stuff out there. I'm a sucker for pop so it tends to lean on the popier side. So without further a do. Here's the first of the SR (Synthesizer Rules) compilations. Enjoy!
