The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. 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. -- Liam Ramírez SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 19,200 bps "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach. -- Sun-mi Brennan "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
