    Vince, was one of the most prolific songwriters and performers of the eighties, his time with Fergal ,then Alison was great, he helped propel them to the great artists they are today, if you watch his interviews ,he say why he moved on till he found Andy, thank you for the great music Vince. I play his music daily. The eighties was the last great decade of incredible music.

      Do you think this was made in the 1950s or something? They very much had computers when this was released, no computers, no synths. 80s Synthesisers were to all intents and purposes computers filled with chips and electronics.
      Even I had a computer back then and I was 6/7 - a Commodore 16+ iirc, might have been the Vic20. The 80s is best known for being electronic music wise, all synths and drum loops - Stock Aitken and Waterman would never have made it big without computers (which wouldn't have been a bad thing).

      By this stage, Vince was well into using the Fairlight CMI - a very expensive, computer-based synthesizer - along with various sequencers and other computerized electronic music gadgets.
      While his music itself was composed of simple melodies stitched together, the process was very much hi-tech at the time.

    • @bwest6275

      Vince made it clear he was an early adopter of computers in music, so much so that they allowed him to make his own music without the need for others. If you enjoyed his music in the ‘80s onwards, you’ll very much see him reliant of a computer.

      @@pittibarlin8692 The Commodore 16 wasn't released until 1984, while the VIC-20 had been available since 1980, if this would help. Before he started using computers, Vince used sequencers, which could loosely be considered a form of computing. He was indeed an early adopter of computers in music, starting with the Fairlight CMI and then swithing to the UMI software running on a BBC Micro computer, which he ended up using through the 1980s.
