Note: 'has instrument performed by' track ARs where only added when the instrument was specifically named, with the exception of the highlighted items above. In these cases the specific AR needs a refinement. Despite the fact that a lot of instruments listed above are synthesizers, a 'has synthesizer performed by' AR was only added when 'synthesizer' was specifically named separately.
