    Artist description
    This is a pure example of what I'd like to call "Powersynth" because it first developed from within my soul to evolve into a meaningful and influential musical "power". All music was created primarily on the computer w/ a handful of syths and software to tweek the sounds to perfection. The vocal overlay is like few ever heard in the "Synthpop" world. The music is inspired by my constant listening to Trance, Drum -n- Bass, and Progressive Breaks electronic sub-genres. I also credit my DJ background.

    Press Reviews
    "...strong synthpop with solid, emotional vocals" - Flaming Fish Music. "This is why synthpop and electronic music can be good, if not great. Next time a friend asks you what makes synthpop so special, play 'em this record! Essential for any collection." - Lexicon Magazine "'Window of Faith", "Redemption" and "Unchain" are all excellent examples of what the future sound of synthpop could develop into." - NIKLAS FORSBERG, Release Music Magazine, Sweden "I love the mix of Midihead's vocals with the occasional female backing vocal. I don't think there is a track on this CD I don't love. Even the instrumentals are awesome.... Highly recommended!!!!" - Jason Baker "I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Monolithic. It looks as if there is hope after all for synthpop music." - DJ Gunn "I highly recommend it to anyone who is sick and tired of all the "fluff" that you hear right now in the synthpop world. This one will definitely remain in my CD player for good." - 24Bit "this is a strong début, and should be given some attention." - Tommy T. Cyberage Radio "'Power Undiminished' is, as a whole, overwhelming in it’s scope, but as a collection of individual club-oriented tracks, it ought to meet with a very enthusiastic response." - PHOSPHOR, Electroage online E-Zine "'Power Undiminished' is an incredible album, and more that lives up to the hype on the internet." - Scott Malloney, Grinding Into Emptiness "If you like emotional vocals, mixed with hard-driving synth sounds, then you will definitely like Monolithic." - Jacob Bogedahl, Gothic Paradise "'Power Undiminished' is one of the best albums I've heard come out of the growing synthpop movement this year, and one that will definitely find it's way into my cd player many times over." - GunHed, Wet Works e-zine "By hybidizing synth-pop and trance/electronica, with smatterings of ambience, techno and even electro thrown in for good measure, Midihead has created a fresh new sound in time for the twenty-first century." - James McGinnis, Ballistic Test online e-zine
