a = mcr © © @ C) PMONC Ltt Left: With a wide array of music available, listening equipment has expanded and improved. Sound quality has advanc ed and distortion has virtually disap- peared. Above: Sound equipment comes in all shapes and sizes. AM FM stereos, tape players, cassettes, and record players are all available in a myriad of different styles. spectacle of bands and performers who were once considered ‘punk’ and have now gotten caught up in a movement called ‘New Wave.’ No one has bothered to establish a definite transition point between punk and new wave. Many people believe that the only change is that the nomer ‘punk’ became obsolete. Blondie, The Cars, The Knack and virtually all of the emerging rock bands have elements of old rock and this so called new wave. Has anyone else gotten Linda Ronstadt and Billy into this business of change? Joel both released albums this year which include a definite modernization of sound, hers, ‘‘Mad Love”’ and his, ‘‘Glass Houses.”’ Other up-and-comers in the new revitalization of modern music: Toto with “Hydra” and the hit “99”; new albums by Heart; the touted “‘Tusk”’ experiment by Fleetwood Mac (many think the marching band a bit beneath Mac’s level); and Pink Floyd with a marginal effort in its release of ‘“‘The Wall,’ an instant hit with FM-rock. Herb Alpert (that’s the same guy on your parents’ Tijuana Brass albums) had a new album with quite a bit of AM FM airplay, and what jazz could be a better highlight of the Olympic closing ceremonies at Lake Placid than that of Chuck Mangione? Once, the opinion was the music could really proceed no farther from soul or disco or rock but that speculation has been almost unanimously tossed out the window. Music is becoming better all of the time. Look out for the eighties. Student Life 65
