    That's fairly horrible. Looks like a schoolboy's idea of a fancy record deck.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
