On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! 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. -- Tyler Stewart "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
