Gents,
Very well then, I guess I need to go back and listen to those early
LP's and see what I hear (or hear what I hear).
As far as "The Name of the Game" goes, I've often wondered if
3-string appears as the high sustain during the chorus but I haven't
timed it to see if it beats the 8-second clock. It could be though
in the intro but it's as Mssr. Anderson did the opposite of what we
strive to do to obtain "that" sound...EQ-ing it so it is less
plaintive and more dark and subdued.
Now if the Polar 'tron ended up in my living room.......pinch me, I'm
dreaming again!
Thanks all....
