Living in the 20th Century

Steve Miller Band

High-gloss 1980s production meets traditional blues. A neon-soaked record where synthesizers and gated drums collide with classic harmonica riffs.

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, gated-reverb drum hit that opens the lead single
The jarring but smooth transition from high-tech synth-rock into traditional blues covers
The way the harmonica on 'Big Boss Man' is processed to sound like a digital keyboard
