 Yeah! A recognisable "stab" at a brass patch, but character!

 Don't forget that they were also using the Roland System 100 at this 
 period aswell, although my guess is that the patch used a multitracked 
 Jupiter 4. The League didn't use a Jupiter 8 in the studio until late 
 1981/early 1982. Whatever synth was used, it does sound great.

 I'm rather suprised that someone like Ian Craig Marsh doesn't shadow a 
 list like AH, as I know that he still dabbles with synths, and regularly 
 hangs around The Human League's studio in Sheffield with Oakey, and if 
 ever there was a potential nethead, then he's one :)
