I'm looking for something similar and not just on a musical level, but also in terms of production. I really like intricately layered production and albums with big songs that all have single potential. Preferably something from the 90s with great energy, a dance/pop quality to it, primarily a male vocalist who can be seductive and/or have a great presence.

The closest thing that appeals to me would be Dead or Alive with albums like Fan the Flame and Nukleopatra.

London After Midnight's Psycho Magnet is also a fantastic one.

I'm somewhat familiar with SAW and Stephen Hague produced albums and stuff like New Order, OMD, Erasure but need to spend more time with their 90s albums.



Secondly, I'm also looking for something like PSB's Relentless in so far as it being great music without much vocals. Lots of energy, dynamic songs with great variety and moods. However, I would prefer full-length albums but EPs are ok too as long as they're of decent length.

Greetings,

Well of course, there is no substitute for very, but some albums you may like to investigate in light of your specific criteria include:

- Lightning Seeds' "Dizzy Heights"
- Boxcar's "Algorhythm"
- New Order's "Republic"
- My Life Story's "The Golden Mile"
- Electronic's self-titled debut
- Depeche Mode's "Violator"

If the Relentless vibe interests you, check out the 90s output from the likes of Orbital, The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Underworld, The Shamen (esp. Arbor Bona Arbor Mala), Aphex Twin, Fluke etc.

Happy exploring!

Retro.

The Beloved 'Conscience' and 'X'

Luke Slater's 2002 album Alright On Top immediately springs to mind.

Iris - Disconnect (1999) i would say the closest vibe you're gonna get to Very, that's from the 90s.
