Ravel a big influence on Mark Hollis of Talk Talk. Which is a very good thing indeed.

One of the goals of today's sort-of holiday show is to be something you won't have to turn off if your relatives in town for Christmas drop by. It'll all be pretty comfy and nostalgic. It was either that or a direct attack on Christmas.

↳ Song: "Neon Lights" by "Kraftwerk"
I stumbled across Kraftwerk via this album at college, when i found a tape of it in a discount bin at the Boston Tower Records at Newbury St and Mass Ave. I don't think this cassette left my Walkman for weeks. Then it went into rotation with Numan's "Pleasure Principle." Both were kind of what I imagined the cyberpunk future would sound like from the vantage of 1988.
