I think the synclavier was used on later ZTT albums, such as Laughter 
tears and Rage, by ACT, and on Liverpool by frankie.

There are definately fairlight sounding moments on WTTPD, for 
example , the slowed down samples on "world is my oyster" have that 
distinctive slowed down fairlight sound, and Trev does say the 
fairlight was used on relax in the article, and War sounds pretty 
fairlight-esque too, as does the extended version of two tribes.

I dont know what the synclaviers' native sound is like, never having 
used one, but id bet if they had one, there's sync on the album two, 
as well as the JX-8p which is all over the grace jones ZTT stuff, and 
the extended version of PLeasureDome 12 inch.
