Wasn't it an OSCar? Not sure where I got that from but I'm sure I've heard it before somewhere. If that's the case then you'll be wanting the ImpOSCar

I don't have the answer, but if I'm thinking of the correct section, it just sounds to me like a squelchy, somewhat distorted synth having its lowpass filter cutoff modulated by sample&hold. You could approximate that sound with any number of synths.

I have absolutely no answer for this...but the question reminded me of a set Dave Ralph played once (when he was a resident at Motor in Detroit) where he mixed, or played a sample of, the intro to Cowgirl (ie. the end of Rez) throughout an entire 2 hour set...until he played Cowgirl at the end. It was magnificent, and beautifully done. Everytime I hear that song, I think of that night.

There aren't any synths at all in Cowgirl! And why are you calling my song an 'underworld' song?

Synths used were Juno 106, Multimoog, ARP2600 & OSCar.

If you're talking about the breakdown at the 6min(ish) mark it's based around a Roland VP330 Plus put through a side-chained noise gate.

Er....the sampler was probably the Casio FZ1 - the S1000 didn't arrive until at least halfway through the album.

I think on their rider they had Vimto and monkey nuts. Not sure about the clothing tho.

......and...the Breton shirt was a mandatory clothing item

Mmmmm...hot Vimto with a dash of vodka on a cold winter's evening
