I'd love to see a gearlist for the "Ambient 2" and "The Pearl".. right? I have some doubts about the use of an EMT 250 simply due to it's scarcity and price (given the budget of those records).
I was basing this off of a Daniel Lanois interview I read:

Music Glob » Blog Archive » Daniel Lanois Interview


The later ambient work that Eno and Lanois worked on apparently made heavy use of the Lexicon 224. The Concert Hall algorithm was used for its modulated ambience, and the 6-voice Chorus added modulation to long feedback paths. The various Lexicon Concert Hall algorithms I have heard (PCM-70, PCM91) have internal modulation, which creates an effect similar to the Budd/Eno work.

In a related bit of trivia, the 250 has some very very slow modulation in it's algo. A remarkably effective and simple algo it is (4 delay / diffusor stages)...
Casey has written about an EMT-esque algorithm here on Gearslutz:

Reverb Subculture

Probably not the exact EMT algorithm, but still interesting.
