notes
A wide three-oscillator saw stack is voiced with a fast, bright filter envelope so it reads as a synthesized horn stab punctuating the four-on-the-floor groove, in the Munich disco style ABBA and Tretow were chasing that year. Chorus and plate reverb widen the otherwise dry, percussive hit into the mix without blurring its transient.
