On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Sven Choi Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mpark@berkeley.edu Fri Oct 20 09:10:47 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!berkeley!mpark From: mpark@berkeley.edu (Mike Park) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1995Oct20.091047.6622@berkeley.edu> Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 09:10:47 GMT References: <1995Oct19.053847.5602@kiae.su> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1995Oct19.053847.5602@kiae.su>, schoi@kiae.su (Sven Choi) writes: > Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned. > On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
