The Fairlight Story - ChickenMan - 24-08-2022
This is the story of Fairlight, an Australian invented computer that revolutionized the music industry in the 1980's which then set the industry direction to where it is today. Well worth a listen that was produced yesterday
The Fairlight Story (smh.com.au)
I have also been collecting Fairlight documentation, software, etc for a while now as its spread all over the net and nothing in the one place. It really fits into the Australian Made & Produced mold also. So expect to see a new Repository soon

Awesome! Looking forward to this!
I remember being blown away seeing these on Towards 2000 (Or was it Beyond 2000 by that point) back in the day and being blown away.
And, of course, growing up listening to Jean Michel Jarre, I absolutely loved the sounds they could do.
Cheers!
John
