Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

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.

Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions?

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.
