On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Dong-hyun MacDonald -- Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
