If there is list of perfect Dream Pop+Shoegaze albums Bertoia's "Modern
Synthesis" will surely be on my list of best picks. It goes from one song to
the next grabbing you with a catchy melody and chorus on each turn. The
melodies are very Japanese Indie oriented but oh so good! It's sounds often
like Lush with lots of sugar on top. This is a hard to find OOP CD and I was
extremely lucky to to find a copy when recently visiting Japan :D
If you are into Dream Pop-gaze this album will NOT disappoint. - SHGZ

The first full-length album by Tokyo Shoegazer/Indie-Pop band, Bertoia. It
that released in 2011 with 10 beautiful charms and dreamy songs inside an
album called 'MODERN SYNTHESIS'.
Formed in Tokyo, Bertoia is a Shoegazer and Indie Pop band consisting of 5
members. They take their roots from the '80s-'90s US and UK scene, which they
developed in their own way to create Bertoia music. They formed in 2007, and
their long-awaited first album "MODERN SYNTHESIS" was finally released in
April 2011.

Listening to Bertoia's debut album gives me such a warm and gentle feeling
that I feel as if I'm dozing off under the sunshine filtering through the
trees on a sunny summer day. The harmonies of LUSH, the comfort of the Pale
Saints, and the psychedelia of the Galaxy 500. If these keywords caught your
eye, please give it a listen. It's sure to become one of your favorites. -

Shoegaze
is a genre of alternative rock that
originated in the late 80s. The genre is very
difficult to define, and it is even more difficult to evaluate music
within it. Generally, the genre is characterized by its
shimmering vocals, reverberating guitars, and
textural distortion that create
a tranquil, opaque
feeling.
