I got GAS the first moment I heard Tony Levin play the stick on 
Peter Gabriel's albums. When I saw it live, I was sold. I only 
bought one about 2 years ago. Had to wait 9 months before I 
finally got it - there's sort of a waiting list at Stick 
Enterprises...

I used a Korg Pandora for a bit of compression, phaser and delay. 
No EQ or other "tricks": the stick really does have that deep, 
clear sound.
Perry uses tc electronix delay and reverb, a Marshall compressor, 
an ElectroHarmonix flanger (a real 1981 model!) plus an Ibanex 
tube screamer (I think).
Soren used my ES-1 with home sampled Jomox drum samples (my old 
and sold Airbase 99) and some selected samples from NI Battery kits.
We recorded straight into the computer through a Mackie mixer 
with some compression (Behringer) delay and reverb (Lexicon Alex) 
on the vocals

The challenge was to make a completely new song in 2-3 hours. We 
recorded it live in one go. No mastering. This is how it sounded 
in the "studio".

> Also, that Tony Levin hairstyle makes perfect sense.

A lot of stick players prefer that style - they wouldn't want to 
have their hair entangled in all those strings... ;-)
