This week, on Transmission, I'm spotlighting an instrument that came to prominence back in the 1980s — one that you hear all the time in music these days, but back then, it was an exciting new sound. I'm of course talking about the synthesizer. I'm going to be highlighting some of the groups and artists that helped put it on the map. Sweet dreams are indeed made of this transmission Thursday night at 10 o'clock on the current.
