For today's album recommendation, we stay in Sweden and wanted to bring to your attention the album "Resurrected" by Avantgarde. This was the bands third album release and came out in 2011 on the A Different Drum Label.

It's a very melodic synthpop album which makes for great listening and includes several synthetic gems and we recommend you listen to the tracks "Radioactive Feeling" (our favourite track on the album and one we have featured a few times on our shows), "In Your Clutches", "Memories", "Maureen", "December" and "Cabriolet"

A very upbeat album, which is sadly now out of print, however, the band have made it available as a FREE DOWNLOAD on their website.

Sweden is proving to be a hot bed for really impressive electronic bands, and one band that WLR rates as the best, where Synthpop is concerned are Eurotix, they are a duo and have released a number of fantastic EP's and in May last year they released their debut album "The Secret", which boasts a wealth of top class synthpop tunes from start to finish.

The album features 3 of their singles "I Plead Insanity", "Life As It Slips Away" and "Let's Die Young" all of which WLR highly recommend. In addition to those 3 gems, WLR also recommends listening to "After Before, Before After" (the best synth ballad since Soft Cell's "Say Hello Wave Goodbye"), "The European Man", "Don't Let Go" and the title track "The Secret".

A glorious album definitely worth checking out, especially if you love catchy synthpop songs!

Today White Lion Radio recommends the album "The Satellites Of Substance" by Jonteknik who is from Brighton, here in the UK.

Jon Russell the man behind Jonteknik has been releasing material for a number of years and is someone we have been following closely since his early releases.

Jon's music is heavily influenced by Kraftwerk and we think his finest work to date is the 2014 album "The Satellites Of Substance" as it really does sound like an album the godfathers of electronic music could have recorded.

The album includes the wonderful single "People At An Exhibition" (A track WLR as one of Jon's best ever tracks) as well as some really good electronic gems and we recommend you listen to "Broadcast", "Relay", "The Stars Are Not Alone", "Forever Lasts Longest", the title track "The Satellites Of Substance" and the beautiful "Music Machine".
It's a stunning album that is well worth checking out.

Recommended Albums By White Lion Radio

Today we have chosen an album by German band Minerve, which is called "Please". The album was released in 2010, and is their 3rd album release and easily their strongest.

The best way to describe this album is "Powerful Synthpop". The album includes 2 singles, the brilliant "Hold Me Tight" and "You Don't Know Me" and is a quality album from beginning to end. Along with the singles WLR recommends listening too, "Everyday" (WLR's favourite Minerve track), "Don't Ask Me Why", the title track "Please" and "Save Me".

Todays recommended album, is by American Synthpop band Cosmicity, who have been a well respected band on the electronic music scene for 20 years.

Mark Nicholas the man behind Cosmicity has consistantly delivered quality albums but we have chosen the album "In Perspective", which was released in 1998, it represents Cosmicity's best tracks from the period 1994 to 1996, for WLR, one of his most productive and best periods.

It's an album of so many highlights, including WLR's favourite Cosmicity track "Keep Me In Mind", along with that, the recommended listens are, "Awake", "Egypt", "Maybe", "The Moment" and "Tragedy". A solid album and the perfect introduction to the music of Cosmicity.
