The 27th release on Minimal Wave is Autumn's 'Synthesize' LP, selections from the band's best material. Autumn was the legendary project of Peter Bonne and Geert Coppens, 2 Belgian teenagers who started experimenting with the potentials of analog synthesizers during the late 70's and formed a band together soon after in 1980, quickly becoming one of the most truly visionary groups to emerge from the synth scene in Europe. The album is titled after their "Synthesize" single which was recorded along with its b-side "The Third Autumn" in 1981 in a professional 24 track studio in only 7 hours. Both songs became modest summer hits in Belgian dance clubs in 1982, and the release been highly sought after ever since. Considering how young Autumn were when they recorded these songs, the production is very impressive. These multi-layered synth-pop gems are catchy, danceable and definitely ahead of their time. "I Say You Hello" has been described as an amazing piece of synth music with insanely catchy vocals, an incredible bass line and some mind-melting analog patterns.
