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. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Mei Kowalski Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. ------------------------------------------------------------ From elee@pipeline.com Mon Jun 19 07:25:39 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!pipeline!elee From: elee@pipeline.com (Élodie Lee) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1995Jun19.072539.1014@pipeline.com> Date: Mon, 19 Jun 1995 07:25:39 GMT References: <1995Jun18.005639.9339@kiae.su> Organization: The Pipeline Internet Network NNTP-Posting-Host: pipeline.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1995Jun18.005639.9339@kiae.su>, mkowalski@kiae.su (Mei Kowalski) writes: > Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned. > It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes. -- Hugo Dubois Tape trading list upon request.
