The Rentals

The Rentals are from the distant future of the not-too-distant past. Think Moogs and Gary Numan.

Suggested First Purchase: Return of the Rentals

Return of The Rentals (1995) -- Moogy songs, more about love than computers, though that's in there too. Fun but not stupid. Highlights include "Waiting," "Friends of P." (which is about the Psychic Friends Network: duh), and "Please Let That Be You."

Seven More Minutes (1999) -- This album is probably actually better than the previous, but it's lost some of the charm the original had with its shift to more conventional music (not as much Numany Moogs and role playing).
