It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Dmitri Souza Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tsilva@hanse.de Tue Aug 08 13:57:50 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!hanse!tsilva From: tsilva@hanse.de (Thiago Silva) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1995Aug08.135750.8737@hanse.de> Date: Tue, 08 Aug 1995 13:57:50 GMT References: <1995Aug06.163550.3069@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg NNTP-Posting-Host: hanse.de X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1995Aug06.163550.3069@cam.ac.uk>, dsouza@cam.ac.uk (Dmitri Souza) writes: > PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP.
