    Wow, 80's pop like A-ha and Pet Shop Boys. Bonus points for doing something no one else is doing. Remember that 80's synthesizer? It's all over this album. So if you like the 80's, this is a definite buy. The songs are pretty good and could have easily been on the "Breakfast Club" soundtrack. My only real complaint is that the drummer is no where near tight, while not bad, his lack of "in the pocket" technique makes the whole band sound weak. If the drumming were better I would have found this whole album to be quite enjoyable. This album is worth checking out.

B-Decapolis 1999Reviewed by Tom BastianOK, take yourself back to the days of "Pretty In Pink", "Sixteen Candles", and "Say Anything." When John Cusack films were all the rage, and just about every movie focused on the High School Prom. Well do you remember the music that went along with those movies? Classic tunes with a classic sound. Well if you don't remember those days, one listen to Scientific and those days will start to become…
