I'm interested in computers and I always found that music from the 80s was perfect for me - the synthesizers and boopy sounds like that never fail to remind me of computers.

computer controlled synths were pretty 80s I think. we got better experts on this though. also is it that 80s synths sounds like computer, or computers sounds like synths, or that synths are computers :smokepcp:

my opinion of fm synth is that they sound alike dubstrp and have a characteristic sound where as subtractive are less flexible in a way but sound less like "this kind of synth" heh I am a amateur

That performance is from 1982, and also, there are tons of examples of computer sounding music from the 80s, Ive just been listening to that song lately.

I like listening to pop song mashups because they all have the same beat and mesh together well.

Also Daft Punk sounds like computers, so sometimes I listen to them, even though their music is garbage.
