Modulate., Bob Mould's fifth solo album, arrived on Granary Music on March 12, 2002, and it's a hard left turn from the guitar hero who fronted Hüsker Dü in the 1980s and Sugar in the 1990s. The Last Dog and Pony Show had flirted with tape loops and samples on a handful of tracks; this time he dove headfirst into electronica, and plenty of his fans were floored by the swerve.
He didn't soften the blow on the road, either. The tour, billed as the Carnival of Light and Sound, put Mould alone on stage against prerecorded backing tracks while short films flickered across screens behind him, a one-man multimedia show from a songwriter who had spent his career fronting guitar bands. "Sound on Sound" is the one that made it onto the countdowns, its title a fair summary of the whole layered, programmed experiment.
