notes
On "Tokyo (Western Eyes)", Mike Score's rig: Roland Jupiter-8 and Korg Delta for pads and strings, ARP Odyssey for basslines, played alongside Paul Reynolds' effects-heavy guitar. Here it carries a sweeping synth effect used as a transition or texture rather than a musical part. Reconstructed by ear from the record; no official patch sheet survives for this part, so the specific oscillator and filter values are an informed approximation anchored to the album's known gear.
