Juxtapose

The late, great Nat King Cole:



Compare with Depeche Mode:



Nat is like a Mauser bolt action: smooth as silk and the ultimate in class.  Depeche Mode is more like an FAL, industrial with a hint of menace.  Both represent the best of their day.

    Cole was a favorite of mine growing up; he had a fantastic voice.
    What a lot of people don't know is that he was a good jazz pianist, also.
