The opening and closing cymbals came from my mate Martin's Sequential Circuits Drumtracks drum machine. All the other sounds were from the usual suspects.

about

Jim Mortimore UK

I've been writing music since I was very young, having abandoned piano lessons for a Casio VL Tone and two reel2reel tape recorders.
