Jocko Homo , Mongoloid , Too Much Paranoias 2. Duty Now for the Future (1979) The FLAC Analysis: Often overlooked, this album marks the shift toward pure mechanical rhythm. Listen to "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" in FLAC. The panning effects moving the synthesizers from left to right ear are surgical. Alan Myers’ drumming—specifically the tom fills—sounds like a typewriter writing a manifesto. The low-end on "The Day My Baby Gave Me a Surprize" is punchy and dry, a treat for subwoofer owners.

Whip It , Gates of Steel , Don’t You Know 4. New Traditionalists (1981) The FLAC Analysis: The band leans into synth-pop paranoia. The opening "Through Being Cool" features a sequenced synth bass that, in FLAC, reveals the decay of the note—how the sound waves collapse before the next note hits. "Beautiful World" has a layered vocal harmony (Mark vs. Jerry) that requires FLAC’s channel separation to distinguish. The high-hat cymbal work is crisp, never sibilant.
