  22. Release Notes:
  23.  
  24. When the Faint emerged from out of nowhere and released the
  25. twenty-five minute long Blank Wave Arcade, an EP that had one
  26. of the most efficient length-to-influence ratios in music
  27. history, it seemed like they were a band that had
  28. single-handedly ended the moratorium on synthesizers in rock
  29. music.
  30.  
  31. Though the reaction to their records since has never quite
  32. again climbed the triple-tiered keyboard stand of
  33. transcendence from which they threw down that first left-field
  34. release (like a Moses crossed with Gary Numan), they have
  35. consistently honed their production and stripped their sound
  36. down to the essentials. The Faint has posted a new song on
  37. their site from their upcoming release, Fasciination. Ă´The
  38. Geeks Were Rightö is lamentably slower and more focused on the
  39. lyrics than most of the standout tracks on 2004Æs Wet From
  40. Birth, but despite that, this muffled energy still shows off
  41. their status as auteurs in a realm of synth production that
  42. owes a whole library of sounds to the ingenuity of this band.
  43. Their trademark fear of the future is more schtick than
  44. paranoia-driven at this point, but the chorusÆ intro line, ôI
  45. saw the future,ö can refer just as easily in the (deservedly)
  46. self-aggrandizing hip-hop mode to the bandÆs
  47. self-acknowledgment as the guys who ushered in of an era of
  48. synth-based indie rock.
