Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.
The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555.

What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long.

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.
