Solvent City

Hello, and welcome to solvent city. These bouncy synth-pop melodies inspire great productivity in our robots. as we approach the downtown core, we hear 'solvent city' booming from cars, bars and beatboxes. it's a big hit with the city's youngsters, recently bumping depeche mode out of the #1 position in the pop charts. 'a panel of experts' is a song for the suburbs. this is the lushest track in town, with dusty home-organ beats and a choir of heartbroken synthesizers. here we find berlin immigrant skanfrom offering a fine, remixed selection of 'frozen food', seasoned with majestic melodies and otherwordly bleeps. once at home, citizens will turn on their desktop tape players for a study session in synth-pop architecture. 'built-in microphone', with its octave-hopping basslines and perfectly formed microscopic melodies, is a compulsory course, along with vince-clarke-101 and moog-history. beyond solvent city there's only barren land - littered with clicks, cuts, and cold digital noise. make sure you stay within the city limits.
