In She Blinded Me With Science, what instrument is used to play this note? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me With Science, what instrument is used to play that deep line after Thomas sings, "SBMWS? They play this noteduring each chorus. Is this an organ, a synth, or a piano? The note gets interrupted by a guy saying, "Science", and then it resumes. You should hear the song to hear what note I am talking about.

I actually thought it was a violin, maybe Im thinking of another one.

I'm going to have to go with a Synthesizer on this one as well. Thomas Dolby's music was extremely synth driven. Too bad it was bad synth. With bad lyrics. And a bad voice.

Yep. It was synthesized and he actually created the sounds for his songs with computer aid and every one sounds different.

'The Golden Age of Wireless' is a great album and I highly recommend it.

Yes you but you did think you could sell blood on back to back days. (not being sarcastic either)

Anyhow I knew it wasn't a violin, but if you have ever seen the video, you would know what I meant.

Hey, why are you bringing up the blood issue in this thread?

That is uncalled for.

And I have never seen the video of SBMWS.
