Anyone know what they might have been using at the time? Sticking the EMS and Moog labels on this one as Eno was known to use them early on.

Richard Devine and VTG signature sets released
"Recklinghausen, Germany. Access Music released two free signature sound sets for the Virus TI by Richard Devine and Chicago Electro Rockers VTG.
Richard Devine, known for his GlitchCore/TDM influenced sound wasn't short of effort to create some of the nastiest, noisiest and darkest patches available today. He made extensive use for the recently added Stomp Box Distortion algorithms and Frequency Shifter.
VTG's signature set features loads of Dub-Step and Elekro sounds. Here's what he has to say: "I really wanted a nasty sound bank for my Virus, some- thing that made the woofers shake, something that had LOTS of great modulation... So I set forth to create a dirty, Electro (somewhat Industrial) patch set for the Virus.. There’s dubstep-esque
basses, nasty little arps, raunchy electro leads and ghostly ambient pads included in the bank."
Virus TI users can download both sets of each 128 patches free of charge from http://www.virus.info

Pat O'Neill - 7362 (1967)
YouTube via bananimalistic | August 03, 2010
"1965-67, USA, 16mm.
This Film started out to be about the motion and sound of the oil derricks that once lined the beach in Venice, California. The derricks, which had been built during the oil boom of the 1920's, were made of wood and rusted iron, and were largely open and unattended. I was attracted to these towers by their moaning sounds, their heady aromas, and the consolation of the endless rising and falling of the pump heads. Somehow it seemed like prayer. The film came to contain a human body, and then moving objects which I filmed in my studio: rotating and oscillating shapes whose outlines would merge with one another. But in a way the piece was really about re- photography - about making something out of ordinary parts using mechanical technology to reveal a glimpse of something uncanny.
Thirty-some years later, it seems to be about orgasms. Joseph Byrd, later of the United States of America (a band) made sounds on the fly from a primitive synthesizer. Burton Gershfield stopped by with a gallon each of yellow, cyan, and magenta developers from Technicolor, which were used to develop black and white, emulsion 7362.
