In the year 2002, Synth Operator Christian V encounters PX-200, Synth Operator and 303 Programmer. Both are regular visitors to Synthetic, in cyberspace and in real life. A search through their musical archives shows them to be on a parallel wavelength, and construction soon begins on the first Neuvogue output, Synchronised Emotion. Creation progresses with Birth Machine, Gilt Complex and Futurist Manifesto, until Neuvogue is three, with Oliver Prime as first Vocaliser. Random Number Generator, Robot Building and Androgynetic are processed and the first sightings of Neuvogue ensue, reaching an apex when a sighting is televised in 2003. Prime malfunctions, but is soon replaced.
Neon Strobelight [an improved model of Vocaliser] is assimilated in 2004, providing the final elements and Neuvogue enters a new phase, a unification of synthetic waves and dramatic vocals. Remodelling of the output begins and construction intensifies on the first totally new output, Film. The Manifesto is finally recorded and new sightings are reported.
Work on the new output intensifies, resulting in the creation of Skinned Alive, Retroshock, Clone of My Own, Synth City and Gossip. New sightings are witnessed across the northern territories and Neuvogue infiltrate Myspace, assimilating many neu followers.
Further construction ensues, as Neuvogue generate the Androgyetic compact disc, a fusion of harsh mechanical rhythms, jagged synths and energetic vocals. The future´s bright, the future´s Androgynetic.....
