while everyone knows Norman for 'hit me with yuor rythm stick', I understand he recorded the original riff for 'Relax' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood' on an Alembic.  Does anyone know which Alembic? (and does the riff sound lie an alembic?)

piers.
Norman's bass was discussed about halfway down this thread.
There's also a picture of Norman with an Alembic near the bottom of this thread.  
 
can't pass comment on the Relax riff. Everything FGTH recorded sounded so overprocessed to me I'd have difficulty telling a guitar from a piano :-)
