It's still a cool song, but now it's lost a bit of it's luster for me.
Thank you for setting that straight.

On the glisses you can hear the frets go by . . . on the moog it would sound like "portamento", a continuous gliss. But NOOOO, you can hear the chromatic gliss (from the frets).
I don't really want to argue, you have your reality (and memories), I have mine . . . |

| | | | it's not an argument. i thought the same. when told by the guy wrote it (and played the synth bass),it seems so apparent. they're really not fret sounds,but,the" attack" of the synth(however it was programmed).maybe there's a way to get mr. hall's email address-"the horse's mouth"--i'll get back on that |
