''Note: It was long rumoured that an EDP Wasp synthesizer was used on this album. The origins of this are unclear, especially as it has hardly been mentioned in interviews. However, a fan who was fortunate to ask Tony Banks about the EDP Wasp in the early 2000's confirmed Tony had "never heard of such an instrument". Hence its exclusion from this list.''
