    A rev 2 too.. the first band not to use Bowen presets! (j/k). One of my fav bands.

    There used to be some great PIL photos with Keith Levene holding his aluminium guitar and a Roland modular appparently plugged into a couple of Fender Twin amps. I'll bet that would sound pretty good!

    Awesome clip! I always wondered if this song used a Prophet. What a great patch. Does anybody know if that was a preset which shipped with the Prophet 5?

    No, but you can clearly see he's switching between patches that are similar. I have two guesses. 1. He made two patches that were noisey liked that. 2. The memory failed, the patches scrambled, a voice died and/or he saved it that way. They're both unison patches.

    I've read somewhere that Keith Levene recorded the original version of this song with a Roland system 100M.

    I don't think he owned a P-5 by the time Careering was recorded back in the spring/summer of 1979.
