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. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Bastien Tanaka -- RWTH Aachen Informatik "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Bruno Girard Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tjohansson@berkeley.edu Sun Aug 25 07:20:42 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!berkeley!tjohansson From: tjohansson@berkeley.edu (Thiago Johansson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1996Aug25.072042.3943@berkeley.edu> Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 07:20:42 GMT References: <1996Aug22.185742.2965@rwth-aachen.de> <1996Aug23.131742.2343@cam.ac.uk> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1996Aug23.131742.2343@cam.ac.uk>, bgirard@cam.ac.uk (Bruno Girard) writes: > YES!
