The second Age Zero work is no longer quite as strong as the solo debut. Still, it's a good album. Particularly out­stand­ing are the songs Perfect Memory and I'm Not Afraid.

From the first listen, the album feels like an old friend. As you would already know the album forever. But please do not get me wrong. I fell in love imme­di­ately from the first track on this album. Thank you Duran Duran.

8. Jack Strify – Illusion – (4/5 stars)

jack_strify_-_illusion

Illusion is a really strong syn­thpop album. Why just the weak track Burn/Fear has been selec­ted as the first single, is simply incom­pre­hens­ible to me! Anyone who has liked the hit Halo (We're The Only One), can access without hes­it­a­tion. There are plenty of songs with hit poten­tial here. Such as: Electric (Feat Bonnie Strange.), The Matrix or Not My God (Vs. Losers).

7. Ashbury Heights – Looking Glass Society – (4/5 stars)

ashbury_heights_-_the_looking_glass_society

This is a great Synth Pop album with catchy melod­ies and easy listen­ing factor. My per­son­al high­light songs that I recom­mend to listen to are Glow, Piano and Starlight. Ashbury Heights did a great job with this album. Also the new female sing­er Tea F. Thime fits per­fectly in the new duo.

6. Camouflage – Greyscale – (4.08/5 stars)

camouflage_-_greyscale

This album is a bril­liant piece of pure, mod­ern syn­thpop music. I'm a fan of this band since 1986, so it's really hard for me to make a neut­ral review. It's almost a per­fect album, but I'm not a fan of instru­ment­al music. So in this case there are three tracks with "only" 3 Star rat­ing. Without the instru­ment­al tracks it would be a 4.4 over­all rating.

5. IAMX – Metanoia – (4.09/5 stars)

iamx_-_metanoia

If you like bizarre sounds and extraordin­ary com­pos­i­tions, then you are guar­an­teed happy with this album. All songs move in mel­an­choly mid-tempo and sound extremely bleak. I bow to this bold and impress­ive album. I love it.

4. Solar Fake – Another Maniac Episode – (4.1/5 stars)

solar_fake_-_another_manic_episode

Solar Fake pro­duces a mas­ter piece of dark disco music. Another Maniac Episode sounds 100% like the typ­ic­al Solar Fake sound which I per­son­ally really like. My high­lights are the first single All The Things You Say and the track Observer. Within the Deluxe Box you can find some remixes from well-known artists of the scene and a great cov­er ver­sion of The Killers song Somebody Told Me.

3. Erasure – Always, The Very Best Of – (4.2/5 stars)

erasure-always-the-very-best-of-erasure

After 30 years of a glory car­rer Erasure releases Always- The Very Best Of Erasure. And this are true spoken words! This album is full with hits and memor­ies. All song lyr­ics are writ­ten well, and themes belong from romantic to mel­an­chol­ic all wrapped in nice Synthpop tunes. Personally I want to say: "Thank you for 30 years of per­fect Synthpop music. Hopefully you'll be suc­cess­ful for anoth­er 30 years.".

2. Formalin – Supercluster – (4.24/5 stars)

formalin_-_supercluster

Supercluster is a great concept album with an obvi­ously space theme. This young band from Berlin uses excit­ing samples that makes their music sound really unique. My per­son­al high­lights are Neomania and Alive.

1. Beborn Beton – A Worthy Compensation – (4.3/5 stars)best album 2015 beborn beton

As a long time fan of Beborn Beton I nat­ur­ally see addict wait­ing for the new album. And I am com­pletely sat­is­fied and happy with the res­ult. I just have one big request to Beborn Beton: "Please do not wait again 16 years till the next album.".
