I can't believe it, but it's been 2 years and 100 posts since I first started this blog. How time flies and life changes! But at least music remains constant. This week, I have 3 very different records, starting with this one: the selftitled mini-LP from Dutch minimal synth duo GT Modell. Not a lot of info can be found about these guys, not the least reason for which is because they only go by "G" and "T". Both members sang and played synths and rhythmbox, as well as handclaps and razorblades (?). This sometimes veers into sort of poppy territory, but overally it's quite good. Side one is studio recordings, and side two are all live songs (but excellent soundboard quality). I don't think these guys ever released anything else.

Liking it already (track 1), thanks man.
I feel alive when I listen, sing and dance, as you say, music stays for always.
Thanks, nice post.
Time always passes by quick when you are doing or spending your time doing things you like, I until recently found your site, and I think the site is excellent, great source of information.sv77
hello, i would like to read more information about this interesting topic.
I think though synthpop in part arose from punk rock, it abandoned punk's emphasis on authenticity and often pursued a deliberate artificiality, sometimes using synthesizers to replace all other instruments
