     It is difficult to indicate the parts by mail, but the "slow rumbles" 
     were made with the EH (easy, just create the loop or sample then move 
     the fast/slow switch to the slow position and voila: instant 
slow-down 
     stuff).
     
     Actualy this switch moves the unit from 8 sec. (good fidelity) to 16 
     sec. (not so good but useful "no highs" sound).

I *love* "On Land" (my absolute favorite Eno album), 
especially the slowed-down stuff.
     
What are the parts he has done with the EH16?
     
I was under the impression that he had used different tape speeds 
to get these deep rumbling sounds. But maybe it was the EH ?
     
I also remember (vaguely) an interview of Eno from the On Land period 
or even a few years later, where he was asked what he thought about 
sampling, and he responded that it doesn't impress him because he
did the same thing for years, using tape loops, and tape loops are 
much more convenient for him.
Now using a device like the EH16 surely *is* a kind of sampling 
technique, so I am a little puzzled.
     
Please tell me all you know about "On Land", and the instruments used 
on it !

my
multitrack from a cheap fostex casette 4-track to an 8-track R-8 ... any 
cure for that ? )
