The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. 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. -- Heather Reyes Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 9600 Telebit bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal. -- Dave Hughes Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of EarthLink Network. ------------------------------------------------------------
