I suppose the sampled piano sound is the least synth-y instrumental sound in the track. But still, it's a synth and it's an inspired use of arpeggios.

Some awesome choices so far. I know very little about Thomas Dolby other than the broad strokes of his career, but I *really* like the intro for this (music starts about 55 secs in after a little spoken piece):
