They do sound similar. They used the Roland System 700 on The Pills so not sure if they used that on Escape Velocity. They don't use the 700 live so it's either pre recorded or they use something else.

Does anyone know what created that crazy effect running throughout Elektrobank as a lead type sound. I think it would have been created with a sampler (emu e64?). Any ideas?
