Description
The Art and Craft of Popular Music 1994–2002 is a double disc retrospective by the American synthpop band Joy Electric, released on BEC Recordings in June 2002, a division of Tooth & Nail Records.
This album is a best of package spread over two CDs. Joy Electric make a different and original ‘80s electronic synth pop sound. If you have never heard of them before then this is a great introduction to them. Highlights include «Drum Machine Joy» and «Children Of The Lord». If you like a bit of ‘80s synth pop and drum machines then you will adore this album. [Daniel Cole, Cross Rhythms, July 2003]
