Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- === Rodrigo Eriksson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
