The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. 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. -- Valeria Dubois -- Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "Hold for relay."

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.
