In the synth world that's a compliment!

I have to admit it was inspired by the legendary Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in
Breakfast of Champions:
“As for the story itself, it was entitled "The Dancing Fool." Like so many Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate. Here was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing. Zog landed at night in Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained Zog with a golfclub.”
And so it goes.
That's great!
Never seen that before.
And all joking aside, I think I already said I actually love "Who Are You" to death.
I can still remember the very first time I heard it on radio back in the day, on the AM radio in my '75 Chevy Monza.
It was like getting an old friend back after they'd been off on a self-destructive journey.
Quadrophenia left me cold, and
By Numbers ?
Well, let's just say I was already deeply into Euro-progressive and anything on the ECM label by then:
Towner, Abercrombie, DeJohnette...
Seeing Moonie in that vid almost made me cry.
