Why I'm Crazy for that Warm Synth Sound

I've grown up with synths - right since Kraftwerk through to Gary Numan, New Order, the House / Rave movement, right up to today. One thing I've grown to hate though is the way technology is trying to create perfect sounds. For me, the elusive magical nature of music lies in its imperfections. The early analogue synths showed how true this was. They weren't perfect, and that's what gave them their magic - those warm, unreliable sounds were a delight to my ears, and ironically modern day soft synths try to recapture this warmth due to a backlash against the clinical "true" sounds many synths produced through the 90s and early 2000s. I searched for recording studios france in Google recently and was heartened to discover that there still are many recording studios in my host country - you can't beat the organic, natural sounds you can only truly record in a studio as opposed to a computer.
