Fairlight-CMI

I read this in a Curt Smith interview on the web:

"A few days ago I was offered a Fairlight CMI series III, MFX 2 which reportedly belonged to Tears For Fears. Does this mean you no longer use the Fairlight for your albums ? How important would you rate the Fairlight for your past and current work ? - Harald F

Answer: Very important in the past but there are better and cheaper ways to do the same thing now."

Harald, I take it this is you ;-)

Better and cheaper ways!!! Come on Curt, what a shocking statement. Compare the quality!!!

I have that issue too (Keyboard mag), they did indeed mention their
Series III quite a bit in the interview.  It's a shame they
didn't carry on with the Series III,  I found their music
to be pretty uninteresting in the '90's  (IMHO).  I seem to 
recall reading about Roland Orzabal mentioning he was using
some of the Series III library string samples in his Roland S-770
sampler in the '90's.  C'mon, just use the III, !!
