Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.

On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.
It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
