In the bio Themes for Great Cities, it comes out that on this particular song and that particular part, MIck McNeil the keyboardist was using techniques he learned playing the ACCORDION!!! He was versed in traditional Celtic/ Scots music.

I wish people on here stop saying they went shit after 1984, because they went more main stream. Yes they did a little bit, but they never crave for media attention or nothing. What about real life album in 1991? Fantastic album. They just do good music because its in their blood.
