Notes

Studio recording, 2004. No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for 'Hourglass' riff, but all available evidence and genre/era context point to Mark Morton's ESP LTD EC-1000 with Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the riff section.
