The instruments on Unknown Caller

[europop2005]

i'm interested to know what are the instruments used on Unknown Caller...the intro to the song sounds like a looped prayer call...but a few seconds later theres a very Middle Eastern sounding string or pipe instrument lost between the guitar...can anyone identify this instrument?

I would have to guess it's some kind of woodwind instrument.
Doesn't sound like strings to me.

If you mean the bits in the Left Channel at 0:38-0:41 and 0:46-0:51

Other than that, there are two guitars in the intro and that looped drone thing.

There also sounds like looped ringing delayed notes (probably guitar) in the Left channel. That is, apart from the lower (muted at time) guitar and the lead guitar.

Digging out an old one, but: What delay time do you guys use for Unknown Caller? I'm set at around 340ms throughout, still doesn't sound right to me. Any ideas?

I don't think there is much delay at all on that track. the chorus guitar is double tracked, hence why it sounds so full. But it doesnt sound to my ears like delay on the chorus

well my setting is 433 with 104 bpm. only one repetition and very low delay effect, subtle delay.
i hope this helps.
