However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted. -- === Natalia Sokolov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
