the album dare was (one) of the first to utilize digital instruments! the linn drum mk1 being one example where by the machine used digital samples of actual drums and there is a mixture of analog and digital synths and sampling on the album as well as digital reverb recording units (new back then) but used all the same.

this album has much more than just (sentimental) value and must be listened to on (proper) hi fi equipment of top quality to fully enjoy what this technological master piece has to offer.

it is releative whether young or old people like this album or not , songs are timeless in ones own head. dated i dont truely think so if you have a bad stereo yeah!! anything will sound bad but unlike the first reviewer here this album did utilise the first digital technologys... to great commercial effect!.

great stuff 10 out of 10
