The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

80's music tech allowed all kinds of new things. People who weren't musicians in the traditional sense were able to get involved in music production - sampling, one finger synth players, rhythm boxes. It enabled incredible cross-pollinations like german synth rock (Kraftwerk) mixing with early rap and rhythms from NY streets and giving us Afrika Bambata and Grand Master Flash etc.
Big sounds used to involve big studios (eg Kind of Blue was recorded in a studio that had been a church in Manhattan - the main space had the original bare boards and was 100 x100 ft with 100 feet high ceiling) but Lexicon 224 etc could put big spaces around all kinds of small studio productions eg Trevor Horn/Frankie goes to Hollywood etc.
Where once you needed large studios and real orchestral/string players and the budget for same (eg 70s disco), synths and samplers offered big choral and orchestral textures out of a box that people could hump around to gigs. Post-punk bands got to work with these possibilities in short order.
Songs like Ultravox's Vienna which featured a string synth, synth bass and roland CR-78 drum machine featured very spacious atmospheric sounds demonstrated new possibilites for sounds and textures from your common or garden 4 piece band. New Order etc applied all this to more dance oriented music.
The ramifications of all these changes are still running.
