OOops!

Bit rude of me ........just to let you now I am into zillion of 
different music styles ..mostly pre 88 pop.
kate Bush Stevie Wonder and Gary Neuman live happy together on my 
steroset. 
I actualy became intriqued by the sound of the Fairlight around 85
I got my first walkman and was given a tape that produced sounds like 
I had never heared before.
I lost that tape but the memory of the music stayed alive,
Playing the piano myself and getting into synths later on.,I let a 
friend of mine listen to some records just to ask him ..what the hell 
where those guys playing?   That's a Failight......this was some 15 
years ago and from that day on started a serious fascination with the 
instrument (esp.  the IIx) and It's inventors/designers.

some years ago I found out that the song that started the madness for 
me was called "Dieci Piccoli Indiani"  from the mind bubbling "Melo" 
album by Matia Bazar.
Both the 1985 Melanchòlia and 1987 melo albums are pure cmi 
goldmines. : )

Ciao,
David
