In this Sound On Sound article, it reads, "'The live room had a PA system that we also used as an echo chamber,' Killen recalls, 'and the control room was where Peter had his keyboards — an Emulator, a Fairlight, a Prophet 5 and a Yamaha CP70 — in addition to some percussion instruments and a bunch of guitars.'"

"It's only in uncertainty that we're naked and alive". Peter Gabriel

"There's one synth that I'd used a little bit on my first album, but which Daniel Lanois re-introduced me to, and that is the Yamaha CS80. It has a great breathiness to it — human breath and its musical uses have always fascinated me — and a kind of organic character which I like."

This Sound On Sound article states: "'More Than This' is one of the tracks that came out of Gabriel's unorthodox guitar experiments (see box), as is 'No Way Out', on which he is credited as playing Telecaster."

"Peter had brought most of his normal writing setup to these places. This includes an Akai MPC3000 or MPC60 -- he likes to have a modular drum machine," says Chappel, in this article.

This Sound On Sound article states,"Peter's original demos of his songs had consisted of a Linn 9000 drum pattern and chord progressions on the Prophet 5 or CP70..."

"In the end we got so fed up with it that we hired in a Mitsubishi 32-track digital, which had sufficient tracks for us to do everything on one reel. The Mitsubishi worked well for us. I'd love to do an A-B against the Sony system."

"The album wasn't mastered digitally. We started off working with a Sony PCM-F1, but we had some problems putting clicks on it, and the half-inch analogue proved more reliable, so we used that."

"The only new things were the Emulator II and the Linn 9000, though I didn't have time to get into the Linn properly before I started recording. Part of the catch with these things is that you do need time to get to know them. If the equipment arrives after you've started recording, you have to take it out of the studio to get to grips with it, which I didn't feel like doing in this instance."
