It does have an 80's vibe although still holds up pretty well now. I'm hearing some 70's vibe too. Started out reminding me of Chick Corea then the middle section with the bass pumping on one note rang of Genesis/Tony Banks. I'm listening with cans but it sounds pretty darn good. I know what you mean trying to recreate an older tune and difficulty recapturing that original magic. Very difficult if almost impossible. Cool tune, thanks for sharing.
