I notice on some live recordings that Mike uses a device for harmony.Particuarly in evidence on the live version of Punkadidle.What i can't figure out is if it's a harmoniser such as a very early Eventide unit or  similar or a simple 'one down' octave device.It's a really nice warm thick sound but i find it hard to work out what exactly it is and it's beginning to bug me.Sounds great on the Montreux version of TB pt 2 when he launches into the 'bagpipe guitar' theme!

The first Eventide pitch-shifters came out in the late 70s so it's possible that it was one of them.

Cheers Matt.Thought it might be.That would make sense knowing Oldfield's love of all things new.
