Product Description
CD Description
Though they're known as avatars of '90s "post-rock", Trans Am are actually heirs to the electronic pop tradition of Kraftwerk. Their sound defined by purposefully robotic rhythms,vocoder-processed vocals, and simple, intertwining analoguesynth melodies. The most Kraftwerkian aspect of Trans Am's musical modus operandi is their self-consciously futuristic imagery and attitude.
From the computer-generated album art to song titles like "Cocaine Computer" and "Positron", FUTUREWORLD works overtime to reinforce the image of a brave new electronic world, where two-guitars-and-drums rock & rollis relegated to the dustbin of history. The band's saving grace is its ironic sense of humor, which keeps things from getting too heavy-handed as they update the sound that such artists as Gary Numan carried from the '70s into the '80s. Trans Am brings synth-pop swinging into the '90s, with a harder, more focused edge.
