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. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Aiko Suzuki Hayes Optima 288 @ 28,800 bps "Hold for relay."

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes. -- Amy Novak | anovak@pipeline.com PGP Key fingerprint: C33E B233 EA77 59F2 "Keep the channels open."
