22. Master Boot Record - "Personal Computer"

It’s fascinating how nostalgia keeps pace with us as we grow old. I've never had much truck with the eighties revival (which seems to have been going on for at least double the amount of time that the eighties actually lasted). I lived through the procession of shoulder pads, gross social inadequacies, Thatcherism, yuppies, and keytars. I had no interest in reliving vicariously through millennials who weren't there.

But this. This is a passionate love letter to the bleeps, bloops and pings that soundtracked the decade. It is a stunningly Faithfull re-enactment of how we thought computerised music sounded like. Crafted with utter love and devotion this is the eighties remastered and re-graded and it sounds utterly sumptuous.
