Well I'm rapidly approaching retiring age, but I've just been belting out a bit of 'Hallucinogen' (great stuff).
Nothing wrong with a bit of 'head bangin' music! (LOUD of course)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Well, I live in the Midlands so I've got the best of both worlds...
