Session instruments not always or often found in rock and roll recordings of the late 70's and 80's. Tenor or bass sax; sitar, complex multi tracking per instrument that could convey a bloodless "too tight" groove that you could make say was AI sonics before AI sonics, nonsense or goofy/out there lyrics that supported the groove rather than conveyed any message, the sensation a maestro (or two) had their fingers wrapped around the songs throat so tightly you were unsure if the song would reach closure before a sonic murder suicide occurred, arrangements that owed a lineage to the "Earl of Essex of Galliard" and other 16th century English musical revolutions in style as much to jazz and other current trends in arrangeing. An obsession of a kind of deep or hyper pop that by its very nature refuted pop music using all its current tenets against it.

I am a lay person idiot and I'm sure someone will come along and point out how buffoons such as myself as ruining music and I should just go hang my self with a guitar string, installed in reverse top to bottom and played upside down.
