The main keyboards that Banks used on the album are the Prophet 10, Synclavier, an E-mu Emulator, a Yamaha CP-70 electric grand piano, and an ARP Quadra on "Mama". At one point on the album, a sample from the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is used. Collins said: "You play a chord and a half of it's going at half the speed and part at twice the speed, sounds beautiful." Collins plays on a Simmons electronic drum kit.
