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.
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.

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

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

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