Com Truise comes to us via New Jersey which is the home of recent favorite bands like Ducktails and Memory Tapes, it’s a state that I didn’t think about much when it came to finding electronically made music. Little did I know they also have a synth-head brewing up podcasts and free EP’s, collecting library music and old Italo records and he goes under the name Com Truise. Not only does he make great music he also has his own great branding and look, so check out the mix above and download it here for free.
Komputer Cast – Vol. 1 by Com Truise
07.27.2010
regarding New Jersey and electronic music, you may want to look into Group XEX, http://www.appelstein.com/xex/ vintage early 80s synth stuff, NJ style. Reissued on CD a few years ago and should be getting another vinyl pressing soon, I think.
found his podcast http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/komputer-cast/id375750616#
Is this the same guy as ‘Tom Croose’? I didn’t care for this quite as much as the ‘Marv is sick of winter’ and ‘Summer of Croose’ ones, though it felt kind of the same. This is all so very confusing…
Nooo! He’s stealing my Pattern Dither thunder!

(I kid of course, it’s just a gif export setting, but I do love it)
I think this is a different person than Tom Croose. They don’t look alike, assuming that’s him in the photo up there.
Yeah he’s not Tom Croose, a bit confusing trying to find his myspace. Three volumes have been released so far, vol. 2 is probably my favourite. Cool art too, extra credit!
com truise is a good man.
Excited for more!
