1.The band was established in 1995 for the purpose of carrying out an in-depth pursuit of the outstanding folk music treasures of Macedonia. The name “Synthesis” was chosen to express the concept of the group, which is to combine traditional sounds with contemporary arrangements to create a musical synthesis. Digging deeply into the roots of Macedonian folk heritage, with a serious concern for the basics of traditional compositions, the group has received high praise for breathing new life in this millenium.

Synthesis “Space Travels”
Review by Lauri Turjansalo

Space Travels is promoted as a tribute to the masters of spacesynth so I had a pretty good idea what the album would sound like. Synthesis takes a stab at classic Laserdance style using same tempos, similar sounds and arrangements. Sometimes Synthesis is trying to be even too much like the predecessors because the album suffers from same symptoms as some classic tracks.

Space Travels consists of 12 instrumental tracks. No vocoder singing of any kind. Apart from a couple of slower tracks tempos are around 125 bpm. Music is generally very energetic and has a happy mood to it. While the fine looking cover art is filled with spacey elements, Space Travels isn’t exactly scifi-galore. Instead, it focuses on the rhythmical, disco’ish side of spacesynth. Basslines are strong and drum tracks very varied giving a good basis to build melodies on. Rhythmically the cd is very well done and easily tops the classic acts there.
