Hi all,
i want to bring out an album i recorded using VSTi synths and Scope for production and need good marketing. However, i am not too sure about the genre it fits in and similar bands, so i decided to ask here for help. If you have some time: Below are two tracks of the album in good quality. Could you:
1.) name a
genre the tracks in total best fit in
using a max of one additional adjective to normal style names(e.g. folk
death metal
)
2.) and
any band(s) you find similar.
1. otherland
2. clear view
Thank you very very much in advance !

This to me is clearly Electronica. Listen to anything by Klaus Schulze with his son.

definitely it is new wave from the 80's redressed with a few modern sounds.
reminds a lot of whith used to hear as a teen. especially the bass (first reminds mf the cure) then the pads are very similar to Dance Society's "come inside" (same sound at least, same ambience)....
it's a bit sad and dark, so it is definitely new wave
whatever....

It seems like everyone is projecting their own experience onto it.

very 80-ish, at the dark side
there's some 'minimal' component in it, but it lacks the todays approach of electronic music making.
not trendy, yet musically I'd say.

Thank you for all the contributions ! this is really helpful. If anyone is interested: i give some promotional copies of the album out. The price would be your time - you should listen to it and name your favourite songs, comment the song order, and what you didn´t like.
PM me !
Kind regards, Richard

i'm at work so i can't actually play your music, so i'm going to go with:
alt. psycho zither-core
or
intelligent thrash-prog synthadelica
Take your pic.

zither-core, clearly, though the zither actually is a harp
