Digital Technology

Q4:  The first album I can recall that was recorded entirely with digital technology was Ry Cooder's Bop 'Til You Drop (1979), and I recall a lot being made out of the "clarity" of the recording, though soon enough people like Neil Young were criticizing digital sound quality. Were you open to the changes taking place back in that period? And could you sense the magnitude of what the digital age would mean to the music industry?
