The Citadel by Paul Nagle
Another from my 80s archive restored by Dan Deznan.
More will follow - all of it will be music you needn't pay for, just enter 0 in the ‘name your price’ field. Anyone who had the cassettes will now be able to relive the 80s as these sound so much better than I could do thanks to Dan's skills.
This one is from 1982 and inspired by a story that I don't think I ever finished (and which didn't survive).
Gear used: Korg MS20 and possibly the MS50 too by then; a pair of SQ10 sequencers, Korg Delta, vocoder, Welson organ and other things. I didn't have many effects - a few guitar pedals, Melos tape delay, Great British Spring reverb and so on. Basic stuff but did the job.
There's a cassette sleeve included as a bonus item if any of you want to go the whole hog and put it back on tape.
