I'd say drum machine.....I love the intro used in Dangerous demo (and it is used repeatedly which I love too.)....the replacement on the album version of "dangerous" was good alos though, but the demo intro kicks it's ass!


The middle bit "she touched me" etc.....on "dangerous" (demo) sounds gorgeous, a total change in the song, i was caught off guard with that one

Are you speaking of the incessant click-clacking in the background of "Nasty"? To me, it sounds like drum programming.

Here's the credits of the track (might help you out):

NASTY

Musicians:
Digital Keyboards, Lead & Background Vocals: Janet Jackson
Digital Keyboards, Drum Programming, Percussion: Jimmy Jam
Percussion: Terry Lewis

Yep. wonder what keyboard though. Fairlight? I've no idea, i've always dug it though. nice to see Mike give Jan a nod five years on from 'Control'.

I haven't heard the Dangerous demo so I can't tell which sound you're cross-referencing.
