WOW!! Ive never seen this! Brilliant!

It’s weird to see these TV programs for the 1st time after 40+ years. The young Paul Gambaccini was everywhere too. Vince is my generation so I’m very familiar with the synth pop genre, how did I miss his ground breaking brilliance? What he’s doing manually on the archaic and primitive mixing machine is now incorporated in algorithms and computers for the last 20-30 years. It’s probably because I was so into Electrofunk and other rapidly developing underground dance music genres at the time that I was basically ignorant of the details and other ‘rival’ genres. The 80s was something special for pop music especially on the audio electronics and visual technology side. Pioneers like Kraftwerk helped instigate many of the sub genres of electronic music and contributed to others in the 70s. But I remember the 80s was when it truly mushroomed into massive commercial success with musicians taking what the pioneers started and then pushing the technology envelope.

The outro tune is absolute FIRE! neeed a wav of that 1

I’m surprised by some of the close-minded comments that I found in this….mainly from people who seemingly have never used any of this equipment, yet feel entitled to make opinions about if it is difficult to produce. I can almost guarantee that if any of the haters on this thread had this same gear in front of them-they’d be scratching their head, and would have ZERO clue on how to get it to work. Electronic equipment is not better or worse than “typical” instruments (woodwind, brasswind, percussion, strings, etc).. Electronic music gear is a different animal, and there is definitely a learning curve. Amazing and complex music has been created utilizing these tools for expression. Some of the comments I’m reading seem to fall along the lines of “this seems (too) easy to make music so it’s bad”….and my favorite comment - “electronic music will never catch on” 😂😂😂 lol ok buddy. If you don’t like it, how did you end up watching the video and then going further to type a comment??

There is a learning curve with any instrument. People are entitled to their own opinion, no matter how wrong you may think it is. Also, it is closed-minded. You're being extremely presumptuous, so does that make you any better than them? I enjoy music, both old and new. I'm not so sure your mind is as "open" as you may believe it to be.
