Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. 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. -- Sun-mi Girard | sgirard@delphi.com PGP Key fingerprint: AAD6 8940 C8CA 59DB "Keep the channels open."

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Aiko Kim | akim@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 9235 8479 6E10 DB68 "Keep the channels open."
