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. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Takeshi Johansson Zyxel U-1496E @ 33,600 bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
