Number 107: Trans-X - Through The Eyes Of The 90s

Pascal Languirand and Laurie Ann Gill formed seminal Canadian synthpop band Trans-X in Montreal in the spring of 1982, and they went on to produce some great music. "Through The Eyes Of The 90s" is a track from Trans-X's second album, Living On Video. Although the song didn't make an impact chart-wise, it's representative of the fresh sound and innovative approach the band was taking. It was only a matter of time before they finally broke through with their next single (the title track). For me, "Through The Eyes Of The 90s" checks all the boxes: awesome synths, driving beats, and inscrutible, futurist lyrics. It takes the #107 spot. Enjoy!

    What a great pic ... when Laurie Ann Gill got dressed that morning and put her makeup on she was clearly aiming for the baby doll look popularized by Linda Blair during her slutty years ... circa 1982 when Linda posed for Oui, made Chained Heat, and started getting her freak on with Rick 'Superfreak' James while free-basing in his crack den. But I digress....
    Pascal on the other hand looks like a scary euro-pimp there to make sure you pay his ho or he'll hit you with his synth
