@grey9hound good to hear about your explorations in analogue space. In my (limited) experience, ProJect makes good stuff but get a bad rap sometimes because they also make it inexpensively. Will be interested to learn about your final choices.
BTW, I have “On The Road To Freedom” too. For me it’s from a certain musical vein acquired during high school. Will now dig it out of the basement archives since you’re got me thinking about it.
