"My"music picks for today.
No,not my Queen Sandra,not Tina Turner or Whitney Houston,nor Led Zeppelin.
Not something from the 1960's or 1970's.No guitar needed.But the music has a deep
and complex richness to it that only the true connoisseurs of electronic music would
comprehend.So...I am removing you from the standard Pop and Rock themes.And
light years away from Country music,Blues,Jazz,Mozart and Bach.I have highlighted this
band before,but will highlight them again for today.Prepare for something different,not
the usual "stuffy stuff":

One more with Hybrid...taking you into the bizarre and unusual.
Can you feel it?

www.youtube.com Hybrid: Nails

So,stop listening to the mundane! And never mind about a tune that was #1 on the hit charts and more.So what?Sandra Lauers... Maria Magdalena in 1985...placed #1 on the hit charts in 21 countries and in the top 10 in 5 more countries!

But hybrid is in a world of their own and deserves recognition!

Someone once commented to me that electronic music like Hybrid,Alphaville and even Synth-Pop like Sandra's....has no "real soul"and is so.. "pedestrian".

Not so.

Synth-Pop and other styles of Electro Pop does have DEEP SOUL.In addition,music like Sandra Lauers's tunes were the RAVE throughout country after country around the GLOBE and BECAME the pure essence,chemistry AND culture of countless millions!!!!!!!!

So,no soul or "pedestrian"?Ridiculous.These type of comments are far more than just an "opinion".

To me as a music pro,I can tell you that anyone making those reviews have been living in a music world with horse blinders on their ears AND eyes!Perhaps they were "stuck"in the 1970's with weed and drugs and have never decided to EXPLORE the music that made millions scream and cry for singers like Sandra Lauer,Cyndi Lauper,Madonna,Prince,Michael Jackson,Sabrina,Nena,Alphaville and others!!!More than likely,while others were dancing the night away in the nightclubs of the USA and Europe...they were either sitting home sucking up weed and that white powder or in the woods somewhere listening to hard Rock or thrash metal.
Nothing wrong with those styles of music!But then,do not make any comments and even call them your "valid opinion"if you have limited your experiences in the REAL WORLD of 1980's/1990's music!!!!!!!!!!! Pop,electro Pop,Synth-Pop and other styles of POP practically RULED MOST OF THE PLANET in fame and popularity back in the 1980's!!!!!How much popularity?MORE than good old Rock & Roll music!!!!!!!Now,that is NOT my opinion....but a proven FACT by statistics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So,no soul and pedestrian?????Think again!

Or another way of looking at it:They have no taste in music!

Original Hybrid - Sinequanon.Kind of like...French Rap.
No.Not Rock,no guitars,no anything that you are familiar with.
Lets explore the unusual.A tune I heard in Paris,France years ago in one of the nightclubs.
Repetitious,I know.But so is Rap many times as well as Disco.Just a new journey for you.
Don't you ever get tired of the same thing or same style of music?Yes,I highlight Sandra Lauer much,but she was an international Super Queen of the 1980's and 1990's.

But...I always leave room for Hybrid,both newer and old.

Todays picks for 6/14/23 with regards to the Queen of Synth-Pop Sandra:


www.youtube.com 1999 Secret Land.Updated version of her original from 1988.

www.youtube.com 1986 Mirror of Love

Last year in Aug of 2022 Sandra made a rare appearance in the USA starting in Elizabeth,NJ
at the Ritz Plaza performing Arts center,then NYC.After that she made her way across the USA westward.And course...I was there!But not just as a fan in the audience in NJ.I met her downstairs with a few select others by special invitation!!It was a high honor.Security padded us down and kept a close watch!Food and wine was served!An hour later she and Thomas Anders did their shows...first Sandra,then Thomas!Know who Thomas Anders is?You should!!

Now...Sandra was 60 years old in 2022.Yes,her appearance and voice has changed,that is to be expected.But do not tell that to the crowded arts center or in NYC the next day!!It was packed with screaming fans...even in their 20's!!!!!!!!!!!!Now...what does that tell you????

So,the legend lives on.Back in the 1980's/1990's her voice was deemed much more world-class than even Madonna and others.

It is hard for me to explain this to you,but in some of the music video's I offer you,whether it be two of the above or the 70 in my profile....

Sandra possessed a voice and a "brilliancy" that not even Tina Turner,Whitney Houston,Cyndi Lauper and others never really had!!!!Can you feel it???When you begin to,you will more deeply
understand what I mean!!! Even record sales do not tell the full story of her legacy!!!!!!!!!!

...and that my friends is why many called her:The Queen.

The Euro Queen to millions....
See.What other fail to realize is that record sales do not tell the whole story.
Madonna used a business like approach,she had huge commercial backers,a movie,TV commercial(Pepsi),controversy,sexual acts in her music video's,burning religious Cross's and more.

Sure...that will generate BIG record sales!I do not deny that.But brilliancy goes far beyond record sales,especially with a singer like Sandra Lauer who used NONE of the same approach that Madonna used!Its those who do NOT use the same business approach and have hit after music hit,with a world-class voice that determine a TRUE Queen.So,whether Madonna or others had a million Diamond records and Sandra had none(except her single,Everlasting Love)..it still does not matter.Being a hero across an entire continent matters MORE.
