          This collection of Performances for the Korg Wavestation
          were created several years ago and won rave reviews at the
          time they were commercially available {Future Music,Sound
          on Sound} "...gives you a Wavestation on steroids!..." was
          one of the more memorable quotes I seem to remember.
          
          Anyway, here they are again as follows:

          Ram 1: 0  SENSORY WHORL:  uses a patch containing 4 wave-
          sequences with different but similar waves which utilize 
          the same pattern creating a spiral effect which cross-
          fades and forever shifts in timbre [a beautiful performance
          which reminds me of Vangelis 'The Motion of Stars' from the
          album 'Direct'.                                    
          
          Ram 1: 1  MOONLIGHT:  a delicate & atmospheric plucked harp
          & bell.

          Ram 1: 2  HACKETT'S VOICE:  a lovely vocal pad which reminds
          me of ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett's late 70's albums.

          Ram 1: 3  THE YEAR 1975:  a soft horn with resonant strings.

          voices.

          Ram 1: 8  STEREO RHODES:  a mellow rhodes with bell overtones

          Ram 1:12  DREAM TIME:  a tribal type rhythm split with a 
          voice pad, nice long pre-delay on the reverb, (kind of 
          Aboriginal).

          lots of delay to create a time shifted copy.
