It was recently announced that Seal will be coming to town to play his first two albums in their entirety on May 19, which is amazing. But even more amazing to me is the opening act — the Buggles! — featuring the one and only super producer Trevor Horn, aka “the man who invented the 80s.” To celebrate, this week on the program, I feature nothing but tracks produced by Mr. Horn, and there are a lot of them. Video may have killed the radio star … but not this week on Transmission!
