The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted. -- Göran Park | gpark@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: BC2E EA1C B93C 2B4A "Keep the channels open."

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995.

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