{"product_id":"syntoma-syntoma-music-cd-4560283211341","title":"Syntoma - Syntoma - Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese recordings pull back a curtain to reveal the mysterious world of Syntoma and early-'80s underground Mexico. Syntoma was founded by Alex Eisenring in 1980, made use of synthesizers and drum machines, and was driven by a freedom-seeking DIY ethos informed by a \"rock-jazz-progressive-experimental\" background. These '70s-born influences throw crazed funhouse mirror reflections onto later Kraftwerk, UK synthesizer-pop, post-punk, and pure pop forms. The first five tracks are instrumental, evidencing some intelligent melodic and harmonic conceptions; the same can be said for the remaining female\/male vocal tracks, but the sense of otherness is boosted as the vocal styling's combine a definite UK '80s feel with an unclassified geo-temporal essence, spanning decades and continents. Primarily a trio during the period of these recordings, 1981-84, Syntoma transcends the era and stands apart from their peers with a surprising melodic sense, harmonic adventurousness, interesting arrangements and, above all, an atmosphere of freshness and enthusiasm. Includes liner notes and lyrics. CD includes two bonus tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49207283613938,"sku":"EMRD1134.2","price":32.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/2875013.jpg?v=1778867019","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/syntoma-syntoma-music-cd-4560283211341","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
