been searching almost 25 years for this tone in it; I didn’t hallucinate hearing it from too many pills as I set up telecoms kit for my day job which means knowing what all the tones used in various parts of the world are.

My Professor friend who also sent a load of us an entire ETSI standards document from about 1992 in which they confirmed België used a very slightly different start frequency which was also how I could remember the tune (it was set to a breakbeat) – it wouldn’t sound right with todays Euro-SIT that has 900 Hz start…

have tried Frank De Wulf, R&S records, and all the other usual suspects but not found it… (I did hear Vinyl vera play it a couple of years ago)

Eeven with my encyclopedic knowledge of popular music I can’t instantly pick one out that may possibly have used those 3 particular tones GL, were they all played in sequence or did the producers get a bit funky and maybe switch the order?

it was played a bit like in the video below. Splitting sample loop points wasn’t easy with 1991 era equipment, although many Japanese keyboards could sample sounds and would retrigger them each time a key was pressed. it wouldn’t have been surprising if whoever produced it had a day job at the RTT (Regie voor Telegraaf en Telefoon); telephones are just a way of transmitting sound over a long distance…
