Bob Mould kept "Sound on Sound" in his own hands: he wrote it, produced it and mixed it, with Damien Shannon engineering, and it came out on Modulate, his fifth solo album, in 2002.
The record around it was a jolt. After two decades of hardcore punk and alternative rock with Hüsker Dü and Sugar, Mould had pitched the tour for 1998's The Last Dog and Pony Show as the end of his days as the punk guitarist leaping and yelling at stage left. Tired of playing live with a full band and steeped in club music from living in Chelsea, in New York City, he threw himself into electronica, and plenty of his fans were stunned. He toured it as The Carnival of Light and Sound, alone on stage with prerecorded tracks and short films playing behind him.
