They may be imitated, but the principle is the same. Human voice processed
and looped correctly.

One of the members in the forum owns the Fairlight series III used on that
album.

> The VOX sound is just absolutley Killer!!

We do not know it as 'VOX', but I understand why you are lyrical about it :)

Yes, and probably better.

Go out ? as in 'break' ? Everything can break, but most likely the hinges
on the front panel will break first !

Technically the harddrive, tape unit, Floppy drives. Anything mechanical
will likely fail first. Then the clock battery (watch out for leaks!),
keyboard keys, cables, anything susceptible to static electricity
(memory).

You're welcome.
