I'm not sure it was an audiophile thing. I was 12 in 1980 so the 80s should be my decade musically but they aren't. Don't get me wrong I did like some of the music and time and age means I can appreciate it more now, even the gated drums. It's all the crappy synthersiser shite that turns me off. They could have got the Memphis Horns or someone in but they said no, we can do that on a Fairlight now. No you can't. That didn't last, thank god.
