@vannin666 If I remember rightly, Howard's wife had a compensation payment that she used to help her husband's career. But he'd been gigging and working in a regular job for a good while as well. A very focused and determined musician. Used to come home from work every night and do an hour or two's voice training, without fail.

@vannin666 save up money as much as they could

@vannin666 It was easier to rob banks then :P

@vannin666 As I understand it, (going back a long time OK!) his wife was in a car accident or some other injury case, so they won a lot of money in the award/payout and he invested this into the Jupiter and other high end devices of the time. Coupled with his obvious talent, it was a no brainer from there.

He doesn't seem as enthusiastic about the new digital Jupiter 80 in his latest interview. LOL

I wish you all the best, Howard... from Poland. :)

Sounds or lyrics, he made it well, good stuff from the eighties, jupiter 8 he used in his first albums probably, on stage we can notice a Prophet T8 also but he never talked about... strange. Anyway, in the 90' he turned also somewhat acoustic shows, but without leaving his first analog sounds completely, were he comes back to from time to time, in special cases.

@vannin666 the record labels paid for it
for a video that's about syncronising things together, it's a shame the sound doesn't sync with the picture

This is kind of sad that this video became an ad for Arturia Jupiter 8V.
I Love the sound of the Jupiter 8, I have the Jupiter 8V 2.0...IT IS NOT A JUPITER 8 NO WAY NO HOW! It sits on my shelf and I never use it because of the dis-satisfying sound quality. If I had a real Jupiter8 it would be used all the time,
Howard you should be ashamed of selling your soul for an ad campaign for Arturia.
Buddhist or not, you took the money over integrity.....sorry but true.
