"They called it the VSS Enterprise - a boringly obvious name, I was hoping they'd use the Virgin Records back catalogue for inspiration: the VSS Tubular Bells, the VSS Human League or even the VSS Never Mind the Bollocks!" - Jer White

"I watched the first episode of Paradox and did indeed chuckle. At how dreadful the plot, dialogue, and acting were. I had such high hopes for this "new BBC sci-fi drama" but was bitterly disappointed. Stargate Universe on the other hand is quite literally in a different galaxy: I think it's the only must-see SF currently on." - Jer White

"Cheers softsynth, yes I did notice your "good but not quite good enough" list at the top ;) Incidentally, there was some more discussion about your list on Twitter where Philipp Anz (@p_anz from http://www.fingermag.com/) asked Polly Scattergood whether she would call herself an electronic artist:http://twitter.com/p_anz... replied "If I had to box it, I guess I would, mainly coz if the amount of synths n stuff" (http://twitter.com/pollywo...) - so I guess that's clear vindication for you! ;)" - Jer White

"I'm a big fan of David McCandless' site Information is Beautiful. Here is an interesting post of his: The Climate Deniers vs The Consensus Click the graphic for the visual map." - Jer White

"Another fine post Softsynth collective! We've been discussing it on Twitter, where @eardrums (http://eardrumsmusic.com/) said:@afront Would you call Bat for lashes, Metric, Polly Scattergood electronic albums?? I was a bit surprised to find them on this list...As for VNV Nation, well I now think it's their best album ever! It's certainly their most consistent with the least amount of filler. Ditto A23 - a career best.I blogged a list myself recently - here's my Top 20 Synthpop Albums of 2009:http://pansentient.com/2009... a lot of cross-over, but it was you who put me on to Dragonette so thanks for that!" - Jer White
