Perhaps little surprise that the Tubes would strike up a working alliance with Todd Rundgren as producer given the latter’s equally evident love for the arch and conceptual; perhaps even less so that when he suggested a concept album approach the Tubes went for it, with TV in all its (pre-cable) addictive glory and chaos the subject. Starting with the charging singalong of “Turn Me On” and with other song titles like “Prime Time” and “Telecide” in play, Remote Control exudes early new wave/demi-prog synth-driven energy, the Tubes’ careful madness on display.
