Alot of music from the sixties and seventies sounds fresher than a lot of stuff recorded in the eighties.
Synths and drum machines were new and overused by a lot of bands during the eighties in the post punk period. The sound that was fashionable then sounds really dated now. Anything recorded using more traditional instruments (guitars, real drums etc) has stood the test of time better.

I think this is one of the best synth tracks of the 80's and pretty much unknown!
