Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk. You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- === Graham Moreno === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

The slap bass player on 'Midnight Animal' is almost certainly a studio legend like Kenji Takamizu. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
