Freezepop vs. Fischerspooner...

[holden]

...in the battle of cheezy, yet somehow unbelievably catchy, synthpop dancemusic?

Just discovered the video-gamey joy of "Fancy-Ultra-Fresh" by Freezepop, and the parallels to Fischerspooner are obvious and plentiful:

Both have an artsy-fartsy "singer" singing havily-computerized inane lyrics;
Both groups feature the staple of synth pop...baselines that are nothing more than single notes played an octave up/down/up/down in sequence (come to think of it, this applies to much trance music, too!);
Also, and i think most importantly for this music, the tongue is firmly in cheek. (fisherspooner have claimed more significance to their music, and in fairness, "Odyssey" is pretty damn good, much better than "#1").

Any thoughts on these titans of blippy dance (other than they're all shite, naturally! ) Or synth music in general?
