TORI AMOS Under The Pink "The Wrong Band"

While working on the album , Under the Pink,
Tori came to my studio to work on the "Wrong Band ".
"Whimsical" is how i would describe our approach. And the Hammond S6 Chord Organ
Is what came to mind. Its an organ that your grandmother , no your great grandmother would
love in her living room. All vacuum tube .
Not spinning tone wheels like on a larger Hammond.
Barely polyphonic, I absolutely love this instrument .
It sounds like an instrument that Nino Rota would have designed.
The Solina String Machine, sold by ARP,
is great when you want underachieving string sounds!!!
And the way it plays , its envelope , etc, is superb.

As i am writing this , I am listening to the "Wrong Band " , and have realized that
there is and instrument not credited,
The Yamaha CS 80 synth. One of the first polysynths from the late 70s.














Sorry for the stock pics , my CS 80 is in storage waiting to get revived.
It is a heavy (200+LBS) complex design, but creates a unique variety of sounds.
It provides the bass sound and chordal figure in the B sections.
