You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- === Tomas Suzuki === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
