  7. Another great Fairlight video is Peter Gabriel, in a junkyard, smashing TVs and blowing sucking ion tailpipes for samples, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON8lVgJxMQA 8)

    Some of these early Fairlight users got so creative with their sounds, such as Gabriel, Hancock, Mike Oldfield, Kate Bush... their music still holds up today, when it should all be so much easier...

    Man, I get the impression they're just hanging out and doing this for fun, but that's still some of the best stuff I've heard all week...

    Wow... the fairlight. I don't remember seeing one in a video (well not in use). It seems like it can still beat today's workstations.

    The synth in the video seems like a Rhodes Chroma.

    Nice clip. That Fairlight was a real beast. I like the talk about controlling technology as a tool for making music (near end of clip). I think Herbie could make a bontempi sound good though!Its always inspiring to catch a close up of a great musician jamming.
