Thanks, Jim! Wow, great info, and quick, too! :-) Thanks forconfirming what I always figured about the Seger. Who played keyboardsfor him at the time? I don't own any Seger, though this is such a greatsong, I wouldn't mind having a copy!
About the Magnus album: Just curious, but why use samples at all whenthere's a real tron around? I assume Nick knows what he's doing (!), somaybe he just likes the final result, but that's a bit surprising...although I suppose the sound's fattened up a lot with that manysources.
Really great stuff on his album, and some of it reminded me a little ofAlan Parsons' instrumentals from the Project days (as a comparisonpoint), and a little bit from the post-Project Parsons/Woolson albumFreudiana. I particularly loved the bits that sounded a bit likeGregorian chant ... any tron there? I know the female voice is real, butwhat about the males?

oh yeah... that's the real deal. I remember thinking in the 70'swhen
this came out: "how did they get that sound?"

I asked Nick about this after I got the album, too. He told me heuses a
JV1080 w/ an Orchestral expansion and a U220 for the strings along with a
bit of S770 orchestral samples, and samples of his own tron strings,
mostly used on "Free the Spirit," "Devil" and Part 3of "Inhaling Green."
It's a great album, I agree!
