Hall & Oates

From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates' smooth, catchy take on philly soul brought them commercial success — including six number one singles and six platinum albums. Hall & Oates' music was well-constructed and produced; at their best, their songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock.

Vertigo

The four-piece band out of Knoxville, Tennessee, marries alt/pop lyricism and well-grounded composition with yearning themes and experimental musicianship, connecting with audiences in electric, deeply personal live performances.

Modular

In the year 2000 the band Modular was formed, whose name was taken from the mythical Moog Modular analog synthesizer series (which was similar in appearance to a phone switch crossed by kilometers of cables that allowed the user to create infinite possibilities of electronic sounds of the space age). At the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s albums featuring these synthesizers were produced in abundance, known as 'Moog Records' or 'Moog Music'. Soundscapes of retrofuturistic and fantastic feeling were created, sprinkled with kitsch touches.
