Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.

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.

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2.
