It was made during that era, and I believe the sounds on 'Awaken' that were
referred to are that of the Birotron - however no direct mention of the type of
keyboards used are apparent.

Don't listen to tinkley music :-)
Some time ago I posted to this list about a number of Birotrons (20% of the
total
production run) that are currently awaiting refurb, which is quite a major
task given the
rarity of this machine. Iv'e put the pictures of them in their current
state at:
http://www.atthepub.demon.co.uk/birotron/I would also like to trace all the other machines we made, (yes, all 13).
Some of the
facts appear to have been lost in the mists of time, so if anyone out there
has any useful info
please do drop me a line.
