In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musician. You tell us the record. We will do the legwork to investigate the record and tell the listener some of the basic information. Then we invite an artist in to chat with us about that record. This is the artist's opportunity to "geek out" and have some fun.

Matt Hart from The Russian Futurists looks back on the 25th anniversary of their album The Method of Modern Love, and the influence of The Magnetic Fields.

25 years ago, the Toronto and Canadian music landscape was turned on its ear with the release of The Russian Futurists’ internationally acclaimed debut, The Method of Modern Love. The album is an unabashed confession of romance built on a bedrock of thrift-store toy keyboards and cheap guitars recorded on a porta studio. The Method of Modern Love won fans in R.E.M's Peter Buck, former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and filmmaker Jason Lee.

The Magnetic Fields' first two albums, Distant Plastic Trees and The Wayward Bus, were the template for The Russian Futurists and a change in the direction of Canadian indie music!
