Digital clarity and greater dynamic range in the 80’s albums...for some songs his voice and the glitzy guitars and drum machines(even though Phil did the sequencing and sampling) could sound a bit strident but the new tech really worked for his voice in “Tonight”.
Sssudio is simply a fun song..fast and pulsing...I think of the best fun times of the 80’s when I hear it!
Ironically the first time Phil used the drum machine was on Peter Gabriel's "Intruder".
