Yes, but they still just don't sound the same to me. :)  There's going to 
be
an example of this on my opening page to EarthLight Studios in the coming
weeks, actually, funny it should come up now. :)

I think it's an effect from the waves we're generating with distortion 
(both
natural and via devices), actually.  Also the accordian tends to have a
softer attack, which would tend to mimic the reversed decay, wouldn't it?

What does the rest of yez think?
