Cue to Recall
Genre(s)	futurepop
Years active	2000–present

Cue to Recall is a Norwegian futurepop band, their music is made of synthetic sounds and samplings. Guitars lack. Influences range from bands as Covenant, Apoptygma Berzerk, Project Pitchfork, Human League, to Bauhaus and David Bowie. Due to Terje's clean, strong voice, the emphasis on melody and energetic dancefloor beats and the tradition of some of the bands mentioned above, it is natural to use the term futurepop. Similar Genres: synthpop, aggrotech, Electro Melodies, lyrics and composition provide a rich palette of rather severe emotions, like sorrow, anger, love, violence, tenderness, and focus on the mystics in everyday life.
