Vega’s third studio album, Days of Open Hand (1990), combines Vega’s established folk rock style with more varied instrumentation such as the ney and dumbec and experimental arrangements. High-profile contributors to the album include Philip Glass , Shawn Colvin , and John Linnell of They Might Be Giants . The album saw greater use of synthesizers and samplers than Vega’s previous studio albums; these included the digital Fairlight CMI and analog Voyetra-8 .
