Album Review

CHANNEL-EAST is a Germany based synth pop band that was formed in 2005 by Toni Tzschoppe and David Herzig. Band's latest album ‘Window to Earth’ was released on October 28, 2011. And might be interesting for all synth pop lovers. ‘Window to Earth’ is a typical synth pop album that is full of tracks filled with melancholic lyrics and clubby beats. While listening to this album you might notice that some songs are pretty much similar to other tracks on this album. Sometimes you might find yourself wondering if it is playing the same song or already another.

CHANNEL-EAST’s album might be a pretty good choice for a background music while you are driving or for every day's routine especially when you are not paying attention to what is playing, because if you are going to have a proper listen then you might be let down by amount of accent on vocals and by overused auto-tune. So in the end if you would like to find something new, extraordinary or experimental listening to ‘Windows to Earth’ then be sure to skip this release by CHANNEL-EAST... on other hand you are always welcomed to have a try because at least of bonus tracks that appear as nice remixes by talented musicians from the scene.
