In a 1996 interview with Music & Computers, John Linnell stated, "That's actually an old favorite of mine—it's the four-operator version of the Yamaha DX7, the TX81Z. That was a single-rack thing with some really cheesy sounds. It does sound like a Farfisa [electric organ], though. I used to own one of those but it died." He mentioned that this synthesizer was used on the track "Twisting."
