However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2. -- Lars Johansson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
