The man behind Midnight Resistance is Niko, a former member of the band ReActivate. A couple of prominent synthpop reviewers disliked ReActivate's last album "ReActivate Your Mind," but I loved it. So I was excited to see Midnight Resistance added to A Different Drum's label.Finally the album is available, and it's a great one. It's got lots of fast-paced, catchy songs as well as a couple of nice slower ones. Niko's vocals are much better than the singer for ReActivate.
Anyway, this is the best $12 I've spent this year. Highly recommended!
Here are the songs:
5/5 stars: A Tear in Every Moment, Recall These Days, Second Skin
4/5 stars: Edge of Time, House of Cards (really cool slow song), Wide Awake, Phoenix (reminds me of Fantazja), Cold Reading, Scars from Falling Down, A Tear in Every Moment [people theatre mix] (starts with a neat piano accompaniment then transitions into a more danceable version of the song)
3/5 stars: Remote (pretty song, but generally I don't like instrumentals), Second Skin [Sidechain Mix] (The original is so much better)
2/5 stars: NONE
1/5 stars: NONE
