Back in the 1980's, British bands like New Order, Erasure, and Depeche Mode brought synthpop music, previously relegated to the realm of the avant-garde in the form of bands like Kraftwerk, into the arena of popular music. Since then, the genre has branched out significantly, becoming a truly important international subculture. SYNTHCON 01 is a celebration of the musical form--the filmed document of a 3-day concert devoted to synthpop. Not only does the fun include live performances, a convention with fans and memorabilia, but the film also features a documentary which delves into the genre's roots and history.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
