Quotes

The entire vocal on "Stop the Rock" is processed through this Boss VT-1. It's a little orange box with three faders on it for changing the vocal sound, like a primitive vocoder. We just recorded our vocalist Mary Mary performing the lyrics in different ways, with me manipulating the three parameters live and recording it to VST.

— Noko, Apollo 440, 1999[1]
