Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.

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

Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted.

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2.
