You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Elaine Martínez US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 28,800 bps "Row 14. No joke."
