And how about that video, how fucking epically historic is it to have so many watt consuming CRTs stacked atop each other? With LCDs, that's something that the average play station gamer has in their bedroom these days, yet back then was financially unapproachable.. not just from the fact that most folks didn't have a neighborhood store that had enough of the exact same TV in inventory to even pull that off -- or the fact that the TV's themselves would have been something like six grand in todays money, or the fact that the power consumption would have shut down a Detroit auto-making plant Also gymnast cameltoe was pushing the limits of sexy back then. haha

But I digress, the 80's culture nostalgia is one thing and great synth riffs are another. There was some stuff out of the 80's that clearly sucked, but every time I hear this one play I turn it up.

Not going for the 80's but several come instantly to mind I am afraid :

VH Jimp already mentioned.

And who remembers always (attempting to play) and to be honest had a serious influence in synth love:



The bassline (actually this is more sampling but bass on the Emulator I believe)

Takes me back to my old school days, I get emotional - i miss it!

Not a synth riff but I had to include it just to butch things up somewhat



Jeez this got nostalgic all those late nights up on the commodore 64 listen to the C90's on the ghetto blaster lol.

Incidentally most I still own on vinyl, my son WILL grow to appreciate
