Swedish Electro vol. 3

Swedes did it again! I'm starting to suspect they have something in their water, since it is such a hotbed for talent as this compilations shows. This compilation has "only" 63 tracks. You did read right! I am writing this while listening to this compilation and loving it. Some songs sound like old Depeche Mode (at least to me they have some similarity), but not in a bad way at all. As well as some sound bit older electro, but still work well. If someone asked me to guess the country these artists are from, I would have no idea, expect the ones sang in swedish. Some really sound that they'd be German bands.

The compilation is nicely varied case of older and new stuff, at least this is how it sounds. None of the artists rang a bell, but that makes it even more interesting to me :) Some of the tunes in this one are more poppy, some are bit darker and that works well. And for 5€ it is a bargain! That is the minimum price at Bandcamp for the compilation.

To me this comp keeps ones attention and doesn't let it down, since it is enough varied case. It is not only that 80's sounds, but also modern and darker sounds. That is one thing that makes this exciting. You never know what the next song will be like. I'd say this is educational compilation and really good showcase of Swedish talent! Some of my favourite ones come from there, for example Covenant and Ashbury Heights.

 I am not too familiar with the genres in this kind of music, since I'm newcomer. I only know if I like it or not, and this album I do like.
