That first Del Amitri album is one of my all time favorites albums and the
Mummy Calls track is one of my favorite singles from the era. I think it
also appeared on the Lost Boys soundtrack.

Not sure what vocal processor was used on the Zot song but I heard cassette
demos from that album that are less produced (and more immediate).
