Prominent at the time was the use of sampled individual notes from a live instrument such as the guitar which were then transferred, via the sampler, to the keyboards. No-one had really thought of sampling large sections of live performance and with no use of drum loops, rhythmic variation had to be achieved in different ways. A good example can be seen in the chugging guitar part that is generated by hitting a spring and part of the bass sound produced by hitting the end of a Hoover tube with the hand. These sounds would invariably be processed through guitar amps to add character and weight. Not the only form of enhancement, it seems... "Even though we were predominantly working at the very top of the building in studio 4, we hired out the main recording room of Studio 2 and set up a 2K PA system to send individual sounds through - effectively to beef them up and get the atmosphere of the room. This was done much to the annoyance of the Hansa cafe owner I might add, who had to endure 4's on the floor pounding directly above his head for 3 days on the trot - something akin to a road drill placed six inches from your ear. God knows what he used to put in our food as retribution..."
