The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. 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. -- Mathieu Sokolov Hayes Optima 288 @ 33,600 bps "We don't sign stars.
