"– I prefer Oxygene 3 (2016). Oxygene 7-13 wasn’t analogue enough. And that was because we were in this very silly era. It was an era where we started to discover that digital just couldn’t match the warmth of analogue sounds. And I tried to do this sequel with a digital approach, like if I had digital synths back when I did the original."

Ah, thanks for that. Interesting!

I can't personally agree with that statement, some of the sounds throughout 7-13 sound absolutely wonderful. Digital can sound fantastic, much like analogue can sound fantastic. It all depends on how it's utilised and mix, and 7-13 sounds wonderful to my ears despite the very different approach, sounds and equipment.
