This was interesting for me - I was an early Devo fan (of their first album only, really; they kind of lost me after that). I didn't realize that Mothersbaugh was so into electronics and synths. I thought this was a funny recollection/description:
"For that album and for Rugrats, I used a Fairlight—an early sequencer where you could sample a trumpet or violin or guitar, and it would sound like a real instrument for a split second. But as you play the same note up and down the keyboard, eventually your head goes, That’s not what a violin sounds like. You know how instead of having real wood panels, some places have those sheets of pressboard with vinyl plastic on one side that looks like synthetic wood? That’s what the Fairlight sounded like to me."

now let's have a great big hand
for everybody that can understand
life's a bee without a buzz

and let us not forget to toast
everyone that might have missed the boat
and to everybody else who waits
til teh next one sails in again
that's good
