However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Tomas Hernández Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Katrin Johansson -- Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Julien Santos "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."
