Description: Paradoxx's 1999 debut album with a unique blend of progressive synthpop/euro-dance and sharp female fronted vocals. Songs such as "Romantic" and "Submission" have been embraced both by the club scene and the radio airways. This Goth-electro club sound has attracted a large fan base devoted to their unique style and positive vibe.

"What I can tell you is that they're one of about two bands keeping the synthpop flag flying without sounding like the illegitimate sons of Depeche Mode." Gothnet

Since 1996 Paradoxx has been developing their unique blend of progressive synthpop/eurodance with sharp female-fronted vocals. Their music has been embraced both by the club scene and the radio ariways throughout the world. Although they may have appeared quiet for the last couple years, the band is back ready to make serious waves in the electronic scene.

The band's debut album "New Devotion" was released in 1999 on Isis Records and City Hall Distribution. Their Goth-electro club sound attracted a huge fan base devoted to their unique style and positive vibe. Most notable tracks were "Romantic", "Submission", and Ultraviolet".

Paradoxx is now back with their sophomore release "Atomika" under Cold Fusion Music. Ralph, Lissa, and Phoenix have followed through in creating an album that far surpasses its predecessor. Their style has progressed into a more Nu-Electro sound, while still incorporating elements of the underground such as Goth and Industrial. The audio production and visuals speak top quality and professionalism. Multiple labels have already requested songs for compilation appearances, including "State of Synthpop 2004", "Moonlight Catedral", and "Automata".

"New Devotion was a unique collection of baroque dark electronic dance music, but Atomika has a very new vibe. The female-fronted synthpop band Paradoxx draw heavily on subpop influence and are a flag bearer for their style of music in the current musical climate. The recent Electrapop and electronic synthpop wave in the US and Canada has seen a niche for Paradoxx who have produced not only a catchy, well-produced array of songs, but have crossed over well into the secular pop market."
