Club and Techno music arent just for teens anymore. And as Gen Xers get older, the term "adult contemporary pop" is being stretched to include music thatjust a few years agowould be relegated to the fringe.
One of the Christian bands embracing that trend is Stereo Deluxx. Musically, with their throbbing backbeat and quirky techno effects, theyd be right at home in secular clubs. However, its the lyrics that are clearly (pun intended) heard over those beats and effects that make So Clearly stand out. The opening cut, "I Dont Know," goes straight for the jugular and knocks the shaky foundation out from under the postmodern worldview:
