Back in the day album number ten by the synthpop heavyweights caused a lot of confusion. Two decades years later it's time to change our opinion about it. NBHAP head and die-hard DM fan Norman Fleischer takes a closer look at a record that still means a lot to him.
The Detroit-based artist Tiffadelic moves at her own pace. From growing up on artists like Jimi Hendrix and Sade, she got into goth and alternative music, something that didn't always land with her peers. Her debut, "Retrosynthesis Vol I", is a document of survival and self-liberation. We spoke to Tiffadelic about what shaped her sound, the stories of survival that informed the record, and why we need songs as rituals of protest.
