12. But Not Tonight

One of the greatest bands of the eighties, Depeche Mode could do no wrong for the entire decade. Despite this, they didn’t really catch on in America outside of a few singles until the nineties. Black Celebration is their fifth album, and it’s a pretty dark affair. It’s also a really terrific album. The songwriting from Martin Gore was growing by leaps and bounds, and the band was perfecting their pop electronic sound. And as dark as they may have tried to be, the hits just kept coming. Because a great hook is a great hook, and Depeche Mode had them in spades. And they have never run out of gas…the band has released fifteen studio albums, the latest being from 2023 that was a top twenty seller almost everywhere in the world. They have still got it.

Black Celebration is just that…a celebration of dark music. The one-two punch of the title track and “Fly On The Windscreen” should have you hooked right away. “Stripped” was the lead single, followed by “A Question Of Lust” and “A Question Of Time”. “Sometimes” ends with a beautiful flurry of harmony. The band here is adventurous and thinking outside of the pop box, and the results are great. The nineties would really be the decade of Depeche Mode, but don’t sleep on their first few albums from the eighties. Especially the trio of Some Great Reward (1984), Black Celebration and Music For The Masses (1987). It’s a band that is just getting warmed up for bigger and better things. And they were about to prove that they were very much up to the task.

1978 – CAPITOL
Produced By RALF HUTTER & FLORIAN SCHNEIDER

1. The Robots
2. Spacelab
3. Metropolis
4. The Model
5. Neon Lights
6. The Man-Machine

In 1978, electronic music most definitely existed. It was just nowhere near being popular yet. But out in Germany, in the midst of classic rock and disco and punk was Kraftwerk, an electronic quartet that had an unlikely hit with “Autobahn” in 1974. The Man-Machine (released as Die Mensch-Maschine) is the group’s seventh album. It was not a hit by any means, but it was surprisingly successful. This quartet of electronic musicians (two keyboards and 2 electronic drummers) are as mechanical as it gets…as mechanical as the album cover would suggest. And yet, the music here is smart and entertaining, foreshadowing the coming new wave of the eighties and showing a whole generation that you really don’t need all of those guitars after all.

The Man-Machine is a tribute to all things mechanical. Starting with the opening track, on which Ralf Hutter repeatedly and gleelessly announces that “We are the robots”. “The Model” could have been a new wave hit about seven or eight years later, and “Neon Lights” is surprisingly warm. Kraftwerk deserves a lot more credit than they get: they pretty much invented synth pop, they refuse to ever compromise, and they have been at it non stop for well over fifty years now. The Man-Machine is probably their best work. It remains a joy to listen to after so many years, and it doesn’t seem nearly as out of place as it did 45 years ago. This is an electronic classic, and it’s a perfect blueprint for anyone who wants to know how to get this music right.

Jazz is a music that defies boundaries. Electronic music has limitless possibilities. So, why don’t we hear more electronic jazz? What would it sound like? Steven Ellison, who records as Flying Lotus, has the answer. He has jazz in his blood…he’s a relative of jazz pianist Alice Coltrane, who was married to saxophone legend John Coltrane. But he also thrives on modern music: hip hop is part of who he is as well. The music he makes has been defined as IDM (intelligent dance music), and he pushes the lines between jazz and electronica as far as anyone. Cosmogramma is the high point of his career so far. It’s dazzling, dizzying, confusing and beautiful…all at the same time. He cites J Dilla as a big influence as far as his beats are concerned, which is a very good thing.

But what makes Cosmogramma special is his jazz connection. This is modern music that channels the minds of Miles Davis and Charles Mingus and Coltrane. Without the limits that instruments like the trumpet, bass and saxophone present. Of course, his audience is limited as this is most definitely not pop music. But there will come a time when people will look back at Ellison, and especially Cosmogramma, and see just how special this music is. Electronic music has limitless possibilities, something that not a lot of modern musicians have yet to grasp. There is access to any sound, any rhythm, and any type of structure that one can imagine. The best thing about Cosmogramma is that it shows you how we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of what music can do. Take that, all you “it’s all been done before” folks.

In 1992, Sophie B. Hawkins released her very promising debut album, Tongues And Tails. The electronic pop album included a unique version of Bob Dylan’s “I Want You”, as well as a couple of other hits. Her second album, 1994’s Whaler, did not fare as well. Her brand of pop music wasn’t making a dent with the younger listeners, and she was finding herself swimming closer and closer to the black hole of adult contemporary. She tries experiments with other genres, most of which fail vividly (her rap at the end of “Right Beside You” is…uncomfortable). That track also tries to sound like an Irish folk tune, but the keyboards she uses to do it aren’t fooling anyone. Bless her heart, she tries hard to make Whaler work. But it simply does not.

Much of Whaler is danceable, which is the only real saving grace here. But there are simply too many moments that leave you shaking your head. By far, the low point is the end of the single “Don’t Don’t Tell Me No”, which pounds the last line of the song into your head so many times that screaming “enough, already!” at your speakers becomes a very real option. The album was enough of a miss that Hawkins hasn’t so much as sniffed a hit since then, despite releasing four more albums and ten more singles. A pretty tough road for a pop artist, for sure. This is a reminder that the sophomore slump in music can be a very real thing. She had her whole life to write the first album, and only a matter of months to come up with the second one. I’d skip this one if I were you.
