Can you share any insights on the recording of Brian Eno's Apollo? I can hear a lot of what seems tape manipulations but what synths and keyboards were involved? Also if you can tell us about this rather distinctive guitar sound on "Deep blue Day" Thank you

On Deep Blue Day there are two guitars, a strumming Strat plays the rhythm and the steel guitar is my Sho-Bud single neck Professional. They were both recorded DI. Eno put a massive treatment on everything. The complexities of the chain are unspeakable! But those treatments were worked on for weeks on end. __________________ Daniel Lanois http://redfloorrecords.com/HereIsWhatIs.htm
