Stereo were an French synthpop group who only released one album and a few singles before disappearing into obscurity. The tracks were finally unearthed by the Minimal Wave label for a proper compilation of their best material in the form of 2009's "Somewhere in the Night". Like all great synthpop, Stereo has their roots in coldwave and the darker side of minimal synth music, striking a balance between detached electronic riffs and catchy vocal melodies. "Nowhere in the Island" originally appeared on their 1985 album "Assembly Line", a track that features a haunted saxophone lead and just the right amount of synthpop-hook from this esoteric duo.
