Mirwais

Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Mirwais is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Shakedown, The Stooges, Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder. Those roots explain a lot about how Mirwais arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Propellerheads, Air, Cassius, Alex Gopher and Siriusmo, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Madonna, Fischerspooner, Richard Ashcroft, Mika and Pharrell Williams, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Mirwais, reaching back through Shakedown and forward to Madonna.
