On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Raj Fischer | rfischer@berkeley.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 0B13 FD81 5BEC 8D22 "Keep the channels open."

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Raj Larsson *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Atari Falcon 030 - NetBSD 1.0
