This Soundcloud page is a revisit to my youth when I was pounding out instrumental synthpop demos that never saw the light of day.  

I was listening to a lot of synthpop, new wave, industrial synth, goth, and techno in 1990-1995 and those genres influenced me greatly in the music you hear on this page.  

If you were ever into Depeche Mode, Erasure, Cetu Javu, Camouflage, Anything Box, Seven Red Seven, etc.  or even De/Vision, Beborn Beton, Wolfsheim, Mesh, this music may interest you.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did digging through the archives!  

P.S. That photo was taken summer 1994 when I was almost 21, around the time when most of these songs had been programmed/recorded.

Gentlemen Prefer Blood is a pop punk band from Los Angeles, CA. The current lineup started in 2008 and features members of Big In Japan (the Fat Wreck Chords band), American Lies and a bunch of other bands you have never heard of. The band self released an EP in May of 2008 and their full length debut album in January 2009. With strong DIY ethics and a love of early 80’s/late 90’s hardcore and punk, 70’s punk/power pop and 60’s pop/Motown, the band writes songs they would love to hear from their heroes while retaining a unique sound.

HIDDEN SOULS is a Synth-Dark-Future Pop/EBM band from Argentina.
