I listened to that 1987 track. The melody flows exactly as I was thinking it would, the same synth line is repeated over and over, just that melody scale varies. Some say it's a good thing. Some like their walls grey.
What's the talk about electro influences? Clearly somebody has overlooked the magnificent juan atkins etc. 80s electro efforts to bring that style into discussion.
I feel this more than anything, flirts with spacesynth genre that laserdance once dominated.
Of course I could've refrained from writing what's above and post a pic of big pile of stinking cheez.
