I consider myself a moderate fan of some of their music. I had the cassette single with Policy of Truth back in 1990. They are pioneers of Synthwave.

I had a friend back in the day who was a huge fan of that type of music. I wouldn't say I was a fan but I didn't hate it either. Sad to hear about him though. 60 is far too young.

Synth and keyboards can work very well with hard rock music. We’ve seen it with Dio, Van Halen and Sabbath. Some of Depeche Mode’s melodies were moody and melancholic. I think that is part of why I liked them. Along with the vocalist’s unique and unashamedly British way of singing.
