However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach. -- Marisol Campbell *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Acorn RiscPC 600 - NetBSD 1.0
