HI john I have always loved the vocal reverb on the song real to real cacophony by simple minds. What did you use on that? Also thanks for doing this.. cya analoguejeff

Wow! Cant remember..It was meant to sound like Kraftwerk...its Radioactivity. Reverb is zingey but deep; its double tracked; probably mix of all that and 250 msec single delay, and as it was 1979 just EMT plate. I dont think Rockfield had echo chambers built at that time but they always had a selection of plates in the horse stable! Its the way its sung too.
Cheers JL
