41: SYNTHS!

One hour dedicated to the early days of synthesizers in post-punk and new wave. We’ll hear from the Godfathers of Electronic Pop Music, Kraftwerk (pictured), as well as prominent bands like Ministry, Ultravox, and Blancmange. Plus, Robert Smith’s brief side-project, The Glove. But we’re also digging deep on this episode for obscure cuts from Absolute Body Control, Bal Paré, Ghostwriters, The Passage, A Blaze Colour, and Futurisk.
