The executives greenlit another episode! This time, Gus and Tony talk about Daniel Miller, electronic music pioneer and producer who founded the independent label Mute Records, home to Depeche Mode, Erasure, and Nick Cave (among others). Specifically, Tony and Gus talk about the first three Mute Records singles: "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal, a minimalist industrial song that Tony describes as "the exact opposite of Careless Whisper"; "Back to Nature" by Fad Gadget, an overcast post-apocalyptic hellscape filled with duality and tension; and "Memphis, Tennessee" by Silicon Teens, a synthetic cover of the classic Chuck Berry song.
