Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

Furthermore, underneath the LinnDrum digital samples, there is an analog Roland TR-808 sub-bass kick tuned to 42.6 Hz (exactly 3x 14.2 Hz).
Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius.

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz!
