I would never profess to be a huge fan or even half knowledgable about the band, but they did produce some cracking records. 
Although I do have a problem with Golden Brown (a song I love to bits), I always sing Gordon Brown and I can't stop. 
Found this track today and have worn it out at work. 
Some play songs at 11, I play this at 12 and dance my socks off.
This is the way I feel at the minute 
Endless red tape to keep the truth confined......
The first synth-line send shivers down my spine.
Truly.
Different generations I guess, and we like what we like.
TBH, I've grown out of a lot of synth stuff, and having said that there is stuff that's good enough to still be played 
Go Bob!

Interesting way of putting it there Sprout, "I've grown out of a lot of synth stuff". It sounds like you may think synth music is a phase and somewhat childish, something you move on from.
Synths are a mainstay instrument of most bands and have been for many years. But I suspect you mean synth heavy non mainstream music some of which I listen to. I can understand people not liking it or wanting to listen to a lot of it, you do have to be in the mood for some of it I will admit.
But I find synth heavy music can cover so many bases from simple compositions to pop music from complex pieces to extremely challenging. I enjoy the relaxation of Ambient and the equally relaxing (to me) of Ambient Drone and Drone.
Ah, you see, it's late at night, I'm not tired and I have written an essay (NOT a RANT). 
BTW Sprout ^ that's not a dig or criticism at you, just wanting to try an show my interpretation of the genre.
My essay brought to mind a good friend who is no longer with us and a timely reminder that I think about him.
This song was one he introduced me to and one of my favourites. The composer Susumu Yokota also passed away recently, too young as well.
No! I certainly do not think synth is childish! and like I said, I still do like some of it, but it's only trying to emulate what the 'originals' did
