Synthesizers

More accurately, the LinnDrum and the Yamaha DX7

I love 80s music tho it reminds me of my childhood, which took place in the mid 90s but my dad was trapped in a late 80s timewarp so he drove an 87 Supra and always played records and tapes on our Kenwood hifi

> tfw Glenn Branca, Beat Happening, Bathory, the Fat Boys, Cro-Mags, Debbie Gibson, and Poison are completely indistinguishable from one another

nice

TR-808 (before they realized that it was awesome for house and techno)
DX7 and the Roland D-50
Don't forget the relatively bright nature of early digital mastering

didn't someone do a study proving this to be objectively true?
