03/ 2019 New release: Softcore Express – Peter Gunn

Eternal Sunday presents yet another killer electronic cover version by Softcore Express, this time the inmortal instrumental Peter Gunn. The piece was composed by the legendary Henry Mancini for the first original detectiver series for TV, Peter Gunn (1958), created by Blake Edwards (who also created the Pink Panther, which would also use music by Mancini). Along the years several versions of Peter Gunn were released. The original one, a guitar-based one by Duane Eddy,  a very well known version by Emerson, Lake And Palmer, arranged as progressive rock in the 70s, and a nice electropop version by the Art Of Noise during the 80s, made using samplers and top technology of the time (this version won a Grammy award). Now, Softcore Express releases a version for the new generations, arranged in the usual synthpop/ synthwave style using analog synthesizers.

03/ 2019 New release: Canal Pop – Not Mister Right: An Introduction To Canal Pop

Eternal Sunday proudly presents Not Mister Right: An Introduction To Canal Pop, an album that compiles some of the best songs recorded by Canal Pop, the synthpop music project led by songwriter and producer Emiliano Canal (who also happens to be the label’s director), from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 
“I spent these last years devoted full time to the record label” Emiliano explains “so my artistic project Canal Pop was not my priority, when I had some free time I recorded some songs and released them but without the time or energy to come up with a proper campaign. And it was a shame, because some of the songs that Canal Pop released were good and deserved better luck with the public”.

This doesn’t mean that Canal Pop’s songs went unnoticed these years. Canal Pop is well known in the synthpop/ electropop global underground scene and specialized portals like Side Line (Belgium) and others write about him on a regular basics. Songs and remixed by Canal Pop have been released in compilations by labels and pages like Side Line and Alfa Matrix (Belgium), Sector44 (USA), Ninthwave (USA) and Electrozombies (Germany) (as well as by Eternal Sunday, Emiliano’s label).   

Not Mister Right: An Introduction To Canal Pop features 13 original tracks, and all of the songs are a proper sample of Canal Pop’s style: classic electropop arrangements and production, catchy radio-friendly choruses, crystal-clear voiced professionally produced and plays of words in the lyrics (in English, which is not bad considering that Emiliano is from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where people speak Spanish). The lyrics are about falling in love, being yourself, infatuation, electricity, being cool in Japan, dancing alone, girls who want to learn new things and girls that really enjoy phone calls. 

Several amazing singers collaborated with Canal Pop over the years and all of them are present here: Gaby Laguzzi, New York City’s Bea Conenna, Polette (who shared stages with the likes of Deep Purple and Shakira), Josefina Aufranc and recently with teen singer and TV actress Pauli Cugnata. “All of them are amazing professional singers with thousands of hours of live and studio work” says Emiliano, “I’m very proud of the girls I work with. Besides, they’re all very pretty”.

All the songs were produced by Emiliano Canal except for the opening track “I Want You (To Be My Baby)”, which was produced by producer Osi Tejerina (who also directs a record label in Buenos Aires). 9 of the songs are featured in 2019 versions, with an improved sound. “Future Nights” was commercially unreleased (only as part of a free compilation).

“A new Canal Pop period is beginning”, says Emiliano. “New songs, new singers, bigger and better plans”. In the meantime, the world can listen to Not Mister Right: An Introduction To Canal Pop to catch the mood.

01/ 2019 New release: Softcore Express – Electronic Bach: Switched-On Versions

Eternal Sunday presents another landmark album by Softcore Express: Electronic Bach Switched-on Versions, an album that features 12 tracks composed by the immortal Johan Sebastian Bach produced with  analog synthesizers. Of course, the album is an homage to the first ever synthesized classical music album, done by Wendy Carlos in 1968 (back when he was Walter Carlos). That album produced dozens of clones, creating a new musical genre: classical music made with synthesizers. Now Softcore Express pays homage to that late 60s/ early 70s craze with this lovely album. The cover features a picture taken on the Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires.

10/ 2018 New release: Softcore Express – Memphis, Tennessee

Eternal Sunday presents yet another synthpop EP by Softcore Express, Memphis, Tennessee, this time a tribute to one of the most important (and forgotten) bands in the history of the genre: Silicon Teens. Silicon Teens was one of the first  virtual projects (this is, the band didn’t actually existed) in the history of electronic music. They were created in the UK by Mute Records owner, Daniel Miller, and they only released one album, Music For Parties, in 1980. The late Fad Gadget provided the vocals. Though the project didn’t have a great success, it paved the way for the early 80s synthpop revolution in the UK, inspiring upcoming acts like OMD and Depeche Mode.
 
Memphis, Tennessee features four cover songs that were part of Music For Parties. The song that gives name to the release (originally by Chuck Berry), “Let’s Dance” (a cover of the 1962 hit by Chris Montez), “Judy In Disguise” (originally by John Fred and his Playboy Band) and the Kinks’ hit “You Really Got Me”. These four songs were recorded close to the Silicon Teens versions, using heavily synthesized electronic sounds from (mostly) vintage analog equipment.

09/ 2018 New release: Softcore Express – Synthango

Eternal Sunday presents an amazing album: Synthango, by Softcore Express, an album that compiles instrumental versions  of 11 of the best known tango pieces in the Universe produced with a synthpop/ synthwave sound, made with vintage analog synthesizers.

Electronic tango or electrotango became popular as a genre around the year 2000, but was mostly a combination of tango classic sounds, especially the bandoneon/ tango accordion, with loops and electronic percussion (not always produced in good taste). This is not what Synthango is: there’s no bandoneon/ tango accordion or any other acoustic instrument in this album, everything was replaced with pulsating lines of analog synthesizers that create a surprising sound collage that was never done before, very catchy and overflowing with naïve freshness.

Synthango is both an homage to tango from Buenos Aires and to the synthpop sound of the pioneer producers that developed electronic music based on synthesizers during the 70s and 80s. The sound and arrangements evoke legendary producers and artists like Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone and synthpop pioneers like Yazoo, SoftCell o Depeche Mode, giving as a result a tango album that’s unique, revolutionary and apt for a global public and market.
