You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Göran Kuznetsov -- UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
