| Album | Summary | Sounds Like |
|---|---|---|
 | Hyperbubble - Candy Apple Daydreams I only heard about this American synthpop band recently (thanks @pteittinen!) and saw them live the same week. This is their 3rd album and I love pretty much every track, especially the recurring Candy Apple theme. | Freezepop, Neosupervital, Schmoof |
 | Vision Talk – Elevation Vision Talk's second album is instantly likeable, and takes them from italo disco into a Scandinavian synthpop vibe that keeps on reminding me of the brilliant S.P.O.C.K. There's a 2-disc version on CD that may well be worth hunting down too. | S.P.O.C.K., Apoptygma Berzerk |
 | Tikkle Me – Tikkle Me Debut album from Sweden's Tikkle Me, I have spotinews to thank for putting me onto this band. I've played this one loads and love its kookiness; they're like the new Zeigeist. This could quite possible end up being in my Top 10 albums of the year. | The Knife, Zeigeist, Kate Bush, La Roux, Children of the CPU |
 | Solvent – Subject To Shift Solvent return with a minimal synthpop/IDM hybrid that's quite possibly their best work yet. I've only listened to this a few times, but already I can tell it's going to be one that gets better and better with every play. | Human League Mk I, Kraftwerk, Alexander Robotnick, Kleerup, Rex the Dog |
 | The Girl & The Robot – The Beauty Of Decay With echoes of Thermostatic's final melancholia, The Girl & The Robot's hotly anticipated album delivers a subtler, darker sound than suggested by their debut EP. This is definitely another contender for Top 10 album of the year! | Parralox, Marsheaux, Thermostatic, Royksopp, Ladytron |
