Listening to me and Rosie's current masterwork, Captain MacKenzie, for the picazillionth time, I couldn't help wondering how it stacked up over the years. The Captain and his recent companions were recorded on a 16 track Yamaha hard disc recorder, with a host of built-in effects and more bells and whistles than I know what to do with. Sounds pretty damn good to me, despite all that!
In 1987 (that's right, twenty-three whole years ago), between marriages, I acquired a (for the money) state of the art recording set-up - a four track Fostex cassette tape recorder, a drum machine and a cheap Yamaha keyboard. Oh, and an Alesis reverb box (very important!). Here's a sample of what I managed to come up with.

OK, it has its flaws, but I'm still quite proud of it. You had to be ingenious in them days, what with only the four tracks to play with, as any Beatle will tell you.
1987?What if, what if? Talk about ships passing in the night.
