It is unfortunate that all music-making machines sound so natural these days. That's probably why people keep paying astronomical prices for vintage Casio, Commodore and Roland gear at eBay.

Here are my favourites in the Casio VL-1 category:

Da Da Da/ Trio

Stays in your head for days with just one play. Great lyrics.

Der Komissar/ Falco

A Casio masterpiece. Just like a cheap digital watch that never lets you down.

Tower of Song/ Leonard Cohen

Took this guy to a whole new level. I've heard he actually "plays" the Casio on this track.
