There is a moderated group for users and fans of the old Fairlight CMI. As one of the developers of those machines I think I was too busy to notice a lot of the stuff that was happening around them at the time.
On YouTube there are lots of Artist videos using the machines. This is a You Tube Special with Sakamoto and others discussing Electro Rock and demoing the system.
It was very high tech at the time, honest!
