Robert Palmer
The title track demonstrates a tension created by frantic synth lines and off-kilter beats. It marks the moment when rock instrumentation began to give way to the precise, cool allure of synthesizers.
This collection feels moody and restless, reflecting the shift in music at the start of the decade. By abandoning established warmth, the artist embraced a cold, clinical precision that defines the post-punk era.
