      +phuturephunk It's a recording technique called "gated drum" that's responsible for the amazing drum sound. It's a techniques used in a lot of songs, but "Some Like it Hot" by Power Station, and "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins are the songs most often cited as examples. "Bennie and the Jets" By Elton John also has a fantastic sounding gated effect on the drums.

I remember him singing "Riptide", the title of the album that contained the hit song "Addicted to Love". When that song came out EVERYBODY was blown away. Handsome man backed by several beautiful women each playing a guitar. The song was great and the video of the handsome Palmer in a crisp white shirt, black tie and black pants with gorgeous women in black was tooooo much and the driving bass no doubt helped propel this song to greatness. You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing this song.
