Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Jens Moreau Zyxel U-1496E @ 19,200 bps "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."

Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound.
