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.

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

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.

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

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass.
