From my most kick-ass Depeche Mode album ever Violator, released in March of 1990 but recorded in 1989 which still qualifies this as 80s music in my opinion!  I recorded this using an avalanche of period synths including a Prophet 08, Yamaha TG-77, Roland JV-1080, E-mu Proteus/1 and ESI-4000 and a bunch of soft synths including MOTU BPM, MX-4, Mach Five 3, NI Kontakt and a Waldorf PPG v3.  The recording was made using MOTU DP-8.  This track is incredibly powerful and builds to an amazing crescendo of 80's synthesizer sonic bliss at the end which is a testament to genius and artistry of this band.
