Thanks very much for the kind encouragement. The tune is even
getting some college-radio station airplay!

I'm afraid the guitar is not the result of some Ken Elhardt-esque
synth wizardry. It's a 90's Fender American Strat Deluxe Plus
through alternately a BOSS overdrive or through a Vox VBM-1 mini-
Brian May amp's treble booster into a Vox AC30CC head and a 60's
vintage Vox 2x12 cabinet. The vocoder bits are done with the Cubase
vocoder plug-in and compressed / overdriven vocals. I find getting
the levels right on the vocals are the key for vocoded sound. The
choral vocals are 40 (!) tracks of me singing in four part harmony.
Non-virtual effects include Eventide Instant Phaser and Lexicon
Vortex. As for MOTM content, there are a dozen modules whose impact
is pretty well buried in there. Sorry about that.

Thanks again for the kind words!
Roger
