And this is from 1974, one year before the Altair 8800 ("widely recognized as the spark that ignited the microcomputer revolution") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e11h73WhqK4
Yeah...but I don't think that's really a good point of comparison, as all the electronic sounds on there are analog rather than computer-generated. The actual recording was tracked on tape but played conventionally from keyboards, analog sequencers, drum pads etc. There's no sampling going on here, except insofar as tape edits are equivalent to sampling.
I'm being pednatic here, it's just that I'm an electronic musician myself so there's a very bright line between analog and digital (computer) methods for me. By the way, you will probably really enjoy this short documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkW8Ul7Q1I
