Howard Jones has owned his Roland Jupiter-8 since 1983, and 43 years later it still excites him. The British synth-pop legend shared a short clip revisiting the iconic synthesizer, complete with a snippet from a Dick Clark interview on American Bandstand and artwork by Daniel Arteaga on the back wall. The video serves as a reminder that the Jupiter-8, one of the most celebrated analog synthesizers ever built, remains as inspiring in 2026 as it was when Jones first got his hands on it during the peak of his career. For anyone who grew up on “What Is Love?” and “Things Can Only Get Better,” watching him return to the instrument that helped define that sound is a genuinely warm moment.
