  1. Ranked No. 1 in Disco

    Giorgio Moroder replaces the band with a Moog sequencer and Summer sings over the top as though nothing unusual is happening. Brian Eno called it the future, correctly, and it is still arriving.

  2. Picked by Roots

    Eno reportedly burst into Bowie's Berlin session announcing that the sound of the future had arrived. Early by about six years, and wrong by about nothing.

  3. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    The moment a machine takes over the rhythm section of popular music and nobody notices they have crossed a line. Everything electronic below here is downstream of it.
