Fairlight-CMI

The strings are Fairlight layered not a synclavier.
however it was used on some tracks. Alot of drums are
Fairlight. Via la vida was all composed on a fairlight
and on the album theyve used it and real strings
combined. Guitars on some tracks is a series III. its
all over the album. the bells and chimes are
fairlight. Violins are fairlight. I hear it more
everytime i listen it. it was used on friday night
with jonathan ross show. good to see the revival of
the Fairlight long may it rein.
