Kikuchi seems to have a few uses of a Flexatone throughout her albums 🙂 🎵

Currently listening to FLASHINGS (1981)

I think these represent the words I attempted to search for: "...spooky glissando effects."

Glissando: "a continuous slide upward or downward between two notes." 🙂

FLEX-A-TONE. I keep a list of #flexatone (flex-a-tone) tracks. It's a fun metallic percussion instrument.

All of them are from the '70s – this is the only one from the '80s so far, and it only makes a guest appearance from the 2:15 mark. I loved when incidental soundtrack music sounded like this. We need a young #MikePost!
