The 80s started in 1979. If one were to pinpoint a single thing that brought all the popular music of the 80s together, it would have to be the newly utilized “gated reverb” production technique for the drums. The drum solo that plays in Phil Collins' “In the Air Tonight” right before Mike Tyson punches Ed Helm—is the most popular example of that effect, and definitely one of the first. However, he wasn't the only group that engineer Hugh Padgham and producer Steve Lillywhite were working with when they accidentally discovered the effect. Along with Peter Gabriel, who was also recording at Townhouse Studios (London) at the time, there was also a New Wave group called XTC, and they had their own contribution to the popularity of the effect with their gorgeous sounding 1979 album “Drums and Wires”. The concept of the album was pretty simple. Great sounding drums. Great sounding guitar. Epic vocal delivery. And not overly produced. It set the standard for almost all genres in the 80s with the crispiest sounding drums ever heard.

Today Brad, Jon, Dave, and Jake are very excited to have on guitarist and lead singer of the band The Mommyheads, and XTC fanatic, Adam Elk!!!
