Album Review

‘New Romantic Industry’ is the first album from the Italian Synth pop band HALO EFFECT and will be available as free download. The music of HALO EFFECT is typical soft and simple synth pop, the sounds and vocals are catchy and pleasing for the ears. The first track - a kind of intro - starts with German voice samples in the style of the world war two and an English newsreader. The following tracks mostly are characterized by a pleasing melodic voice, catchy melodies and danceable rhythms. Some parts remember me to other well-known Synth Pop bands like MELOTRON or NEUROTIC FISH. The 13th track ‘11092001’ closed the album, after about two minutes the music goes down and only one sample was repeated with long rests. The 14th track is a bonus track, a cover version of NITZER EBB’s ‘Join in the chant’.
