Got into Retro Wave a few years ago. This one is one of my favs.

Are there any anecdotes on expander floating anywhere? I assume it was the jp8000/8080 on the saw duties?

The Higher Intelligence Agency - Universal Entity (Ketamine Entity Reformed By A Positive Life)
I've been trying to ID this track since 1995! I finally did it two nights ago. :) I though it was never going to happen. I heard it once on the radio and I had been playing it in my head ever since. Thanks to the wonders of youtube and all of those kind souls who upload music.

If you mean the main lead on Xpander, I seem to recall Charlie May saying it was made on this
Marcus: I wanted to ask you a little bit about Xpander because it’s one of those tracks people always mention it as an all-time favourite house track. I just wanted to know, was there anything different about the production process that you went through when you were making it? Or what was the production process? Can you remember what equipment you used?
Sasha: It’s was an Oberheim Xpander. That main riff was something that when I was working with Charlie May I found that rift on a DAT of his. It was like an unfinished tune of Spooky’s. He was like, “Oh yeah we’ve been using this but we couldn’t finish it.” And I’m like, “I’ll finish it.” But we took our time on it. It went through many different phases. It also took forever to mix that down. I remember that being a difficult record to mix down. We actually went through about two or three different engineers to try to get it right and they still didn’t get it right. In the end, me and Charlie mixed it down on our own. Yeah, it was a big record.
