So interesting such a ground breaking device was created in Australia, you'd imagine it would have been California or Japan back then.
One of the fun things listening to 80s pop is hearing the Fairlight "presets", some major cliches like what happened with the DX7 a few years later.
To me, such an instrument is prove that talent/ability is required to make great music, regardless of the gear - Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel spring to mind for the Fairlight, Art of Noise also.

Man that's the music I grew up with  Still some of my favourite songs to this day. It's interesting that Peter Vogel later took up studying for a law degree and specialised on IP law, probably due to the really nasty lawsuit that he had to go through around 2011. He's still actively working as a lawyer now: petervogel.legal/my-story/ |

That's the thing with rich(er) musicians they get away with writing songs using the presets, the poor ones need to learn how to program new sounds.  |

... and probably decimated the people who originally owned the idea. The Britts then moved it into their museums and those sleazy Belgians facilitated the CIA in organizing the whole thing... |
