- notes
- A wide detuned saw stack with a very slow attack and filter swell builds the famous ambient wash that carries the song's minute-plus intro before the beat lands. A slow cutoff LFO keeps the pad breathing rather than static, and a heavy reverb/chorus blend pushes it back into an atmospheric space, a clear step away from a-ha's earlier guitar-pop arrangements.
