Bottom Line...

The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was one of the first programmable drum machines ("TR" serving as an initialism for Transistor Rhythm). Introduced by the Roland Corporation in late 1980, it was originally manufactured for use as a tool for studio musicians to create demos. In the mid-to-late 1980s, years after the TR-808 was discontinued, its sound again became popular, in part due to its kick drum sound, which could produce a very deep sub-bass. By the end of the 1980s, the TR-808 was popular within electronic music and hip-hop genres. As with many analogue electronic musical instruments, a great deal of effort has been put into sampling the sounds of the TR-808 for use in modern devices; however, due to the nature of analog circuitry, the result is often considered unsatisfactory and can sound unduly static and digital. Demand for the real 808 sound is so great that street prices for a used TR-808 are actually higher than the cost of a new TR-808 was upon its initial release in 1980. One of the machine's earliest mainstream hits in the United States was on Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing". That's interesting.......


Heartbreak: n. Overwhelming sorrow, grief, or disappointment. When encountered , is definitely considered a human trait....correct???

It's one thing to have an opinion based on having a clear view and understanding for this opus and not feeling it but respecting it, but to judge this based on the title or what this artist has done in the past or better yet, your control drama.....

Just admitted it, you're not ready.
It's just how I see it.
