Peter Gabriel sampling "found sound" in a junk yard to use in is Fairlight CMI - an early computerized sampler.

Yeah, I watched it too. You get a feeling from those guys that they are doing something very-very special. Nowadays it is a bit different simply because it is very common.

My step-father is an old Peter Gabriel fan so I'm sending him the link to the vid you posted. Thanks!

I'm an old Peter Gabriel fan too!
Seen him twice.

Send your step-father my regards :-)

Well, thanks too, being a Peter Gabriel fan as well.
I already found him a great producer, composer and musician.
Now, watching this, I think we share the same approach to (electronic) sound.

The Fairlight CMI is a nice digital sampler with a big keyboard, but later I found the same joy exploring my SK-1 with 2 1/2 octaves.

I love all those old BBC Micro episodes, especially the ones about 3D animation.
