"Heiko Meile of Camouflage helps Sea of Sin, from Germany, craft a smooth synth rich CD. In the spirit of Camouflage or Cause&Effect, this duo's debut full play has all the elements that should please any fan of synth-pop: Flowing melody, layers of snappy electronic sounds, and in this case a mixture of guitar and piano. Also the vocals, lyrics, and harmonies combine well with the beats and vibe>>>There are some upbeat tracks like "Illuminate," "Strange Vibrations," and "Sin.cerity," that are cool as well as a couple slower ones like the deep "I Live My Life" and the Beatle-esque "I'll Be There," which is groovy.Other favs: Ride The Sky"/"Deep Inside"/"Afterworld." Peace out to the Synth World..."
My favorite synthpop album of all time !!

"Well, that says it all, isn't it? For those who wonders what kind of music do they resemble off, I would say "SEA OF SIN" is the closest band outhere to ever resemble DEPECHE MODE, CAUSE & EFFECT, CAMOUFLAGE, and DE/VISION as a whole package. If you're looking for a REALLY GOOD new synthpop group in a tradition of those legends I mentioned above, don't look any further. The answer is "SEA OF SIN."The album consists of 12 solid synthpop tracks. Not a single bad song on this album at all !! In fact, this album easily made it to my Top 5 most favorite album of all time !! So, do yourself a favor & pick this one out before it's becoming a RARE comodity. Grab it while you still can. Peace !!"
