Dear Mr Rhodes, I'll assume it was created on your Fairlight, but what/who are the voices at the beginning of the track Election Day? It's been bugging me for 36 years. Kind Regards, Andy
“That’s a long time to wait for an answer Andy, so I thought I better put you out of your misery. The voices at the beginning of the track were actually taken from random short wave radio. They were created when we were doing the mix in NY with François Kevorkian. I remember the experience really well and it was a great pleasure working with Francois, who is an amazing artist, one of the most creative mixers I’ve ever come across. Whilst we did take an awfully long time to mix everything on SO RED THE ROSE, I feel that it paid off because the sonics off the album are holding up very well. NR”
