SPEAKER_07 11:56

SPEAKER_00 13:30

I think to sink it to the garden of eating to sink it to the garden of eating Wow, new music from Lady Gaga. Her latest single, Perfect Celebrity, is already making waves, but that's not all. Another track called How Bad Do You Want Me is also grabbing major attention, thanks to its clever use of the Yazoo OnlyU sample. Both tracks come from her brand new album, Mayhem, and the full return to her gritty syncop root, made her a global icon. Plus, in our future past segments, we featured more show with our classic MySeaker Garden from the fashion mode alongside the track brand new from Mellow called Demon. Let's get into this first Future Pass spotlight. This is a story of a man that came out of nowhere, literally from a bedroom studio to become one of America's greatest hip hop success stories, Anything Box. Formed in the late 80s, originally from New Jersey before moving out to Southern California, the name Anything Box comes from a science fiction short story about a girl with a magical box that could create pure joy. And that's exactly what they set out to do with their music. Their debut album, Peace, released in 1990, became an instant club classic, and its lead single, Living in Oblivion, was unavoidable. Today, Anything Box continues to record, perform, and evolve with Claude S, treating every show like a family reunion for lifetime Zen pop fans. And in 2020, he revisited their signature album Peace, and also in February released the EP Nobody Fears television, including a standout newer song today called Dead Stars remixed by TSF, that really just encapsulates everything Anything Box is so great at. Here's anything boxed with Living in Oblivion, the club mix, followed by Dead Stars from twenty twenty five, right here on Sentin Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_07 16:10

I can see it scrolled on your empty face, and I feel the hurt. It's in the woods you say they make me want to scream out to the world for taking life for granted and I know you are by my side when I turn to hear you cry. I am so afraid of living it of Libya. With my eyes turned to a different time around at the end of the day, when we both run down in a lot so heavy, tell me what you will, cause I've got to know the truth inside of you. Can you hear what I say? When I hold you and you score the day, I am so friend, I'll living it off here. I'm living it up here. For everyone. I am so afraid of living in a flivia. I am so afraid of living in a fliving in a fliv.

SPEAKER_19 20:39

The sound of the past combined with the sounds of the future, only on Simpop Symphony As I write down these words of mine.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

SPEAKER_07 22:21

Be remembered for more than one life going over what we once was to embrace it all and pay life as death stars haunted by the dogs. Cause everybody knows the future is the side. Out of all this magnets, tell us what it goes. The future isn't so in a results.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

Amazing music from Anything Box. You just heard Dead Stars. That was the TSF remix. And before that, we started this whole thing off on our Future Pass show with Living in Oblivion, the huge hit from Anything Box in 1990. Now, next up, we're gonna be diving into a piece of synthpop history that's close to home for many listeners here in California. This is a story of cause and effect. A Sacramento bass band not only captured the spirit of the early 90s synthpop, but also left behind a legacy shape for both success and tragedy. Cause and effect formed in 1990, right here in Sacramento, California. They blended their love of the fresh mode and new order with their own melodic style, and their debut album gave us the hit You Think You Know Her. But just as the band was getting really successful, tragedy struck in 1992 while on tour, founding member Sean Rowley half away suddenly from asthma complications. He was only 26 years old. Despite the loss, the band carried on with new member Keith Milo. They released the album Trip in 1994 and gave us another unforgettable track called It's Over Now, which climbed to number seven on the modern rock chart. And it got very heavy airplay. But tonight we both honor Sean's legacy and the enduring music of Cause and Effect, a band that helped put American Sinpop on the map. Let's go back to where it all began. We're gonna start with You Think You Know Her, and then we're gonna play a 2025 track we debuted a couple of weeks ago from Rob Rowe of Cause and Effect called Shannon Joe, which is absolutely fantastic. Here you guys go. Future past with cause and effect.

SPEAKER_19 26:18

The sound of the past combined with the sounds of the future. Only on Sinpop Symphony and Elmotion Bay Sonio And you won't get allowed to switch to us something.

SPEAKER_00 38:23

Wow, Nick Kershaw from 1984 with Dancing Girls. That is the Dominatrix remix that just hit my inbox a couple of days ago. That was the Matt Williams edit. And then you heard our future past set with Cause and Effect. You heard the second song was Shannon Joa from Rob Rowe of Cause and Effect. And from 1990, you think you know her, the club mix. Next up, over the last few weeks, I've been playing some really underground tracks, kind of explaining to you who those bands are, and tonight we've got another one. We were doing Hohokam, Shades of Grey, and Clone 3 over the last few weeks. And this week we're gonna be talking about the post-soft cell experiment with Mark Almond and Dave Hall. Soft Cell may have split in 1984, of course they're back together now in 2025, even touring. But the creative story of Dave Hall back then was just getting started. While Mark Almond leaned into more cabaret and Goth Clam after Soft Cell, Dave Ball went straight into the heart of the underground dance floor. So in 1987, Hall formed English Boy on the Love Ranch, and teamed up with vocalist Jamie Jones together. They created a raw, hypnotic blend of high-energy and sleepy disco that was tailor-made for the darker corners of London's club scene. Another tidbit is that after English Boy on the Love Ranch, Dave Ball also formed the progressive house band, The Grid. But their most notorious track is called The Man in Your Life, and it dropped in summer nineteen eighty-seven. And that's what we're gonna spend next. English Boy on the Love Ranch, the Razor Made remix, which is considered to be the best version of this track, remixed by Joseph Watt. Only on Synth of Symphony.
