The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- === Julien Laurent === Dept of Electrical Engineering, EarthLink Network "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Katrin Girard US Robotics Courier V.34 @ ISDN 64k bps "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."
