Synths primed and shadows loaded: Modern Ideas delivers "plastic dreams, electric romance, and machines humming with human desire" on this Melbourne garage-born debut that channels Depeche Mode and New Order into something beautifully strange. LA dark synthpop trio BlakLight bring haunting, dancefloor-driven intensity with remixes from Rotersand and a cinematic new instrumental, while Venus Spins Backwards offers catchy electro-industrial technopop from the edge of the dimensional vortex. Killer Haze drop a Terminator-inspired synth bop featuring Ruin The Mind, and BLF round things out with a "spastic-but-cohesive burst of quantum popcorn" for fans of Kraftwerk and the Butthole Surfers alike.
