The music was recorded to cassette from CD, as our only CD player was in the lounge Hi-Fi stack. Through my Commodre Amiga, SGI IRIX and GNU/Linux coding years I would still listen to TD and JMJ to get into the 'zone'. My TD and JMJ CDs are now ripped as flac files on my GNU/Linux PC and played using cmus. To quote Galen Erso, "It's a peaceful life."
