Buzzcocks went looking for the future on Modern, and this limited UK import pressing brings their late-1990s experiment back on blue vinyl.
Released in 1999 as the band's sixth studio album, it found Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle deliberately chasing a contemporary sound. Produced by bassist Tony Barber, the record folds drum machines and electronic textures into their trademark melodic punk, and many listeners heard echoes of early 1980s new wave in the mix.
Soul on a Rock opens with a bright, buzzing hook that proves Shelley's knack for a love-struck melody was fully intact. Speed of Life, one of Diggle's contributions, pulses with a synthetic rhythm and urgent, driving guitars, while Rendezvous and Thunder of Hearts keep the energy high with sharp, wiry riffs and big singalong choruses.
What makes the album interesting is the tension between old and new. The songs are classic Buzzcocks at heart, compact and catchy, but the production pushes them into unfamiliar territory, and the result is one of the most adventurous records in their catalogue.
For fans who know them mainly from the Singles Going Steady era, Modern is a rewarding left turn, and the coloured vinyl makes it a fine addition to any Buzzcocks shelf.
