In this A.M.S. interview with Hugh Padgham, he discusses using the delay on the vocals Phil Collins' No Jacket Required:

What's wonderful about using the A.M.S. is that you do get out exactly what you put on. On the new Phil Collins album (No Jacket Required) most of the vocals employ the DMX 15-80S with a 1.007 pitch change and an 11 or 12 millisecond delay - it's clean and really suits his voice. The unit is brilliant for turning something mono into a big fat stereo sound.

In this Modern Drummer interview from 1983, Phil Collins mentions owning the original Movement drum machine, which he regarded as the "English version of the Linn". Various sounds from the Movement Mk.I can be heard on the Hello, I Must Be Going album.
