Just a brief comment: It was some time ago since I listened to their album, but I think I thought that there was some beautiful tracks on it. However the thing that made me most curious about that album was that it was co-produced (at least, I don't remember exactly) by Dan Lacksman. Those of you who are familiar with the european roots of electronic dance music will recognize Mr Lacksman as being a member of the bizarre electronic combo named Telex. Telex, along with Kraftwerk, YMO and Hideki Matsutake's Logic System formed the foundations of electronic dance music in my brain at least. Anyway, check out any pre-1985 Telex stuff. They used walls of modular synthesizers to create their simplistic pop music. Beautiful analogue sounds, indeed. Fortran 5 sampled some stuff from the album "Sex", which btw is a splendid example of Telex' sophistication when it comes to clean electronic sounds and analogue excellence.
