HERESY!
I think the real issue here is who gives a fuck? Do even 90% of the people
who would ever buy a CD/LP/MD of ANY sort of music even know what a TR-808
or an RB-303 is?
Ok, I'll up you one. I absolutely love the sound of those Moog modular
synths that took up an entire room. So, every time I hear a Waldorf
Microwave (oh yea, I can tell the difference :-) ), I just curl up in a ball
and feel like dying. "Fraud!," I scream as tears stream down my face.
The TR-808 is"Old Coke" and Rebirth is "New Coke."
