And now some 1985 observations on home chiptunery from two of music's 'proper' top brass:



Mr. Nero's right - I love a mixture of acoustic, electric and synth.





There's nothing like the old media stuff when you get history in context. I grew up and appreciated life through the '80s, just as all the changes came to our house.

No computer in '85, though I had a bike, record player, a few books and some electronic toys like Tomy Pinball. I played someone else's Atari for fun and never wanted my own just yet. And I had it good enough to take central heating for granted. Today's kids would be bored with 'only' that but my dad as a boy would have seen that stuff as manna.



Just my thoughts running away. TV presents the 70s and 80s as somehow deprived with no internet or hi-def, but in context the times were just as good when you weren't spoiled.

Run the Steem Engine and the disk image.
