Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

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.

Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions?

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995.
