It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale?

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy. -- Heather Weber Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Delphi Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From nsanchez@netcom.com Sat Jun 17 02:11:31 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!netcom!nsanchez From: nsanchez@netcom.com (Nadia Sánchez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1995Jun17.021131.9871@netcom.com> Date: Sat, 17 Jun 1995 02:11:31 GMT References: <1995Jun14.192031.4895@earthlink.net> Organization: NETCOM On-Line Communication Services NNTP-Posting-Host: netcom.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1995Jun14.192031.4895@earthlink.net>, bmartinez@earthlink.net (Brian Martínez) writes: > PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP. > It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
