The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Amy Hernández Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 19,200 bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
