The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. 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. -- Kirsty Brennan Tape trading list upon request.

The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal. -- Mathieu López *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Thiago Eriksson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
