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

The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.
Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.

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

Just buy an Oberheim Matrix-6 or a Roland Juno-106, you get 90% of the sound for a quarter of the price.
