Had a day off here and there but usually to do other stuff (take daughter here, pick up family from there, etc.)

Very overdue a few lazy days!

Minimal, yes. Repetitive, yes. Masterpiece, yes.

What percentage of listeners in '84 realised how groundbreaking this would be?

A one-hour long two-chord vamp but the blueprint for much of detroit techno, 80s house and 90s ambient.
