On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Aiko Takahashi Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Public Access Unix of New York. ------------------------------------------------------------ From dsantos@kiae.su Fri Oct 04 23:34:50 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!kiae!dsantos From: dsantos@kiae.su (Dave Santos) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1996Oct04.233450.7074@kiae.su> Date: Fri, 04 Oct 1996 23:34:50 GMT References: <1996Oct03.203350.5016@pacbell.net> Organization: Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow NNTP-Posting-Host: kiae.su X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1996Oct03.203350.5016@pacbell.net>, tjohansson@pacbell.net (Takeshi Johansson) writes: > PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP. > On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.
