10. Lecherous GazeZeta Reticuli Blues
I want the fortunate readers to know that contemporary sounds are not restricted to lighthearted pop. There’s as much heaviness available as well. The celebration of punk might be bad in the grand scheme of things but what I’m saying is, you wouldn’t catch me digging into my parents’ record collection. You wouldn’t want to dare go there.
The fact that I treasure my friendship, for instance, with Depeche Mode really catches people off guard. But under thorough analysis, Depeche Mode was super-heavy, particularly live. That bottom end, that can only be found through synthesisers. It’s earth-shaking. At one point back in the States Depeche Mode was wrongfully tagged and people said, "Oh, you like that disco-sounding stuff?" Well it wasn’t. It was heavy.
