notes
On "Tut-Ench-Amon" the fx part is a detuned, ethnic-flavoured line colouring the song's exotic theme. Ponger and Falco cut the album at Stereo West (Vienna) and Arco Studios (Munich) on a Prophet-5/Jupiter-8 pair with a Linn LM-1/LinnDrum machine, the standard Vienna new-wave synth rig of 1981-84. The Tutankhamen-themed title is scored with a detuned, Egyptian-tinged synth colour.
