"That Estimated sound" - Do we blame Bob Bralove or Vince Welnick?

I'm referring to the dirty sounding sing-songy keyboard riff in Estimated Prophet that reared it's head in 1991. I'd blocked it out, but I had 6-24-91 Bonner Springs up nice and loud in the car today and had to lunge for the volume knob.  You all know the sound to which I refer.

 

Maybe Rob B can shed more light onto this.  And I shouldn't dare ask, but if DSO plays an Estimated from '91 forward does one hear this noise? 

 

It's truly horrific. In fairness, I think some of my adverse reaction comes from it accosting the sound while Jerry is playing a beautiful series of notes as they softly ease into the outro jam. But still.

From what Vince once told me, all of his sounds were fed to him by Bralove and he had very little control. 

 

Wow......as a musician, I would think that would really suck......to lack control of your instrument sounds??

Ah ha!  We blame Bralove!  Thanks for the insight, Rob.
