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

The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.
Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.

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.

The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal.

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