"I WAS 18 back in '85, my favourite year for electronic music. I was young, wild and free and everyone wanted to dance. It was a good year too because I finally got my windmill down and it was all about having enough money to buy batteries for your ghetto blaster.

"The best record to come out that year was 'Clear' by Cybotron (Juan Atkins). It was like a jug of cold water down your back on a hot day - it just cut through all the bullshit of the cheesy '80s"
