I dunno, if you have any experience with MIDI sequencing and sampling you can tell
right away the music's not being played by live musicians. The stiffness and/or
exactness of some of the marimba and vibes parts are what gives away the sequencing
the most (I have a feeling he intended some of those parts to sound stiff, a sort of
Kraftwerkian, machine-like precision applied to instruments which definitely need to
be played by human beings). Listen to the percussion interludes in "Trans Europe
Express" and "Tour De France" for obvious sample tweaking.
God, there's so much funny shit on this album.
