yes, sounds like analogue tape to me too:
"… it allowed Swedien to circumvent one of the deleterious side-effects of tape-based multitracking: that repeated playback of the tape during the overdubbing and production process would progressively dull the transients of previous recorded tracks."

neither the term "analogue" nor "digital" is mentioned in this article.  ;-)
