Have you ever wondered if a cheap Casio synth could be used to make a complete track – that doesn’t sound cheesy?

That’s the challenge robotpickle took on in creating this track. Every sound comes from a Casio CZ-101 synthesizer.

At the time the Casio CZ-101 synth was released in 1984, it was one of the cheapest polyphonic synths ever made and featured 49 miniature keys.
