I have a love/hate relationship with the 80s and music from that time. On the one hand it reminds me of some awesome times when those songs were playing, in the other it is crappy music that is mostly synthesized and doesn't agree with my brain due to the exactness of the beat.
I read somewhere that musicians build inaccuracy into their beat structure by vurtue of being human, whereas a computer slices time up into such exact portions that it goes against what we like to listen to. If I remember correctly the inaccuracy can be expressed as a function of PHI. I am too ill right now to mine the interwebs for anything to support my idea but, it was a really interesting idea that explains why music played by people jives with people better than synthetic stuff.
