OT, but still... I'm quite positive I have a 12" with the extended 
version from 1980. Yes... here's one:

I don't know what Visage used, but thinking of what was available at the

right path to tread otherwise. :)

Another note on the decay subject, has anyone ever experienced a drum 
synth decay longer than the one on Pollards old beasts. That approaches 
infinity... :D
