I,
Synthesist self describes as Alternative, Electronica, and Electro-Pop, but my
initial reaction was that it was very arty. Art rock and art pop are generally
not my favorite genres. There are digital effects and copious synthesizers, but
when you have a nearly 24 minute track of ambient noise called
"Womb-a-Tron", I think a case could be made for art pop.
"Womb-a-Tron"
is the last track on Somewhere and Everywhere from 2013, and there is a
similar (but less womb-like) track, "The Overlook", on Art Of
Survival from 2007. I mention those two tracks in particular because they
were the ones that drove me from vaguely annoyed to feeling actual hatred.
It's not
always that bad. Tracks like "The Lost Parade" from Avalanche (2004)
occasionally reminds me of groups like Information Society or The Breakfast
Club, and there are songs that are not horrible. Still, it was more common for
me to be annoyed, and that is the impression I am carrying away.
If you are
into techno, I would start with Avalanche, and if you enjoy that keep
going. (If you like experimental art-pop, by all means go straight to
"Womb-a-Tron".)
