Members contemporary Fairlight compositions?

Hopefully this post is less controversial than my last, that is starting a Fairlight online sample database. Which I do indeed hope comes into fruition one day for those ardent Fairlight admirers who do not own one yet. However at this point in time, I feel that in order necessary to keep the instrument and its grandeur alive and contemporary, that members who own these legendary machines if possible could post small clips of Fairlight compositions online. I ask this because a lot the music I admire contains Fairlight eg early Duran Duran, Arcadia, Jarre and Yello and have heard not much new from a CMI other from that period. For me it would be like listening to an original midi composition (l like listening to xg midi original compositions) but produced by a marvellous machine. Even if the clips contained Fairlight mixed with contemporary soft synths, they would still be very interesting. Keep the Fairlight alive! Regards Antony
