Anything Box - "Small"

Another reader suggestion, thanks! Love this video, cute, well done and from a classic synthpop album!



Get the song on the album Elektrodelica
itunes

Amazon:Elektrodelica

Mind blower here....

post-rock // cinematic ambient

Please click play. Then click full screen. Big headphones are recommended, as well. “Anything You Synthesize” comes with a heavyweight cerebral punch, but it’s delivered a on silken aural ether. The American Dollar, a Queens, NY duo, construct experimental ambient sonic explorations with a healthy rock influence. This video, created by the Onesize design studio, turns a cinematic song into an enveloping sensory experience(thx, zimsical)

OK, simply one of the best videos I have seen in a looooong time. You will have to watch it at least twice to really get it. Enlarge to full screen to get best effect.
Thanks to Aurgasm for the lead.

Pet Shop Boys "Love Etc."

A really very good video from the boys here. Not sure that I LOVE the song, but it seems ok. Have not heard the new album, but it is supposed to be good...



UPDATE
Sample the album for yourself!

Saint Etienne - "Method Of Modern Love"

"Only Love Can Break Your Heart"... ahhh, that first sweet single (with a different singer I guess) hooked me for good to St. Etienne. They have a brand new song out.



as a bonus here is "Only Love Can Break your Heart"


Their best album (imho) "Good Humour" on iTunes

they have a new "Best of" called London Conversations out right now in the UK.

Soviet - Commute

One of the best debut albums ever, no really, was Soviet's "We aRe Eyes, We Are Buidlers." Every song onthat album is a classic, not just synthpop, but of pop music in general.
Here's video to remind you...
