Anna Logue 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: It would be fair to say that the "Chinese-Anglo" band Quieter Than Spiders has pushed the boat out with debut album "Signs of Life". Not only does the album come with all manner of bonus treats - stickers, a poster and postcards - but it's also a double vinyl set, with the original LP (record one) being backed by one containing no less than 10 remixes of the very same track. The original LP offers a perfect showcase for their self-proclaimed "Shanghai synth-pop sound" - a colourful and glistening combination of digital and analogue synths with chip-tune style 8-bit computer game sounds thrown in - while the remixes record contains a few more dancefloor-centric versions from an impressive collection of rising synth-wave stars.
