Well he is one for you, the best of The Art of Noise. Now this is certainly synthetic if I've ever heard it. This British synthpop band enjoyed some success in the mid 1980's and is certainly associated with the MTV icon Max Headroom. We take you back to the video times of MTV and the electronic sounds of the dance floor. Time to get it.

Here is a working band from the east coast. This Americana style music is from a highly talented musicians in the New London area of Connecticut. They are widely regarded in the region and have a solid following due to their live shows. Having played together for some 20 years they are a well oiled machine serving up wonderful harmonies and classic lyrics. This album, some twenty years old now, has some of the best recording and engineering you will hear. Robert Q. Blob wants to say hi Ben and Nancy. HI GUYS!!!!!

We are sad to hear of the passing of Peter Tork of the The Monkees. They were some of the first commercial music we heard. Although that was from the television. They were still a major influence in our early years of audio tastes.
Rest in Peace.

This 1985 release covers a lot of ground. Very much a dance album it features the chart song You Spin Me Round (Like a Record). Created in the Culture Club style it really was only similar in the androgynous features of lead vocalist Pete Burns. Its a solid sophomore release from a group that went through a host of lineup changes leading up to this breakthrough album. We hope you enjoy this. Pretty sure you will.

The first release by this Nashville based outfit reached #40 in the album charts. Compared to Collective Soul, Black Crowes and Lynyrd Skynyrd they created some great music with a unique vocal sound for added strength. Although they have since dissolved as the original lineup they can still be seen occasionally in different combinations. This is a solid album. Give ita listen.

Hello everybody. Kingcow is moving from female fronted bands to a more synthetic sound this month. Although not the Blobs favorite genre he is always willing to give it a try. Hopefully he will find himself gaining new insights into a realm he finds questionable. So let's give this a serious ear and put our thinking caps on.

This is the sixth studio album from Peter Gabriel and the ninth album overall. Released in 1992 this a;bum explored some dark areas of his life. It produced some excellent charting material. It even sparked a live show that was ahead of its time for cinematography. This is one album I wont forget as this was a show me and Kingcow attended. For your enjoyment we present Us, from Peter Gabriel.

This is third album by the pop duo The Eurythmics. It is also the best selling studio album for the group reaching the top 10 in the US and top 3 in the UK. Moving away from their traditional synthetic pop sound they took on a more traditional rock sound and image changes for vocalist Annie Lennox. Not that this caused the increase in popularity but you never know. Give it up for the Euythmics and the rhetoric.
