It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Nadine Lindqvist -- RWTH Aachen Informatik "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes. -- Marta Moreno -- The Pipeline Internet Network "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
