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? -- Diego Stewart Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of NETCOM On-Line Communication Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From akuznetsov@stanford.edu Sun Aug 28 08:56:26 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!stanford!akuznetsov From: akuznetsov@stanford.edu (Amy Kuznetsov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1994Aug28.085626.8273@stanford.edu> Date: Sun, 28 Aug 1994 08:56:26 GMT References: <1994Aug27.063226.6186@netcom.com> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1994Aug27.063226.6186@netcom.com>, dstewart@netcom.com (Diego Stewart) writes: > Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.
