notes
On "Date Stamp", Trevor Horn production: Fairlight CMI for orchestral stabs and sampled hits, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 for bass and pads, Roland Jupiter-8 for leads, LinnDrum underpinning the whole record. Here it carries the synth-bass line, played mono with a fast filter pluck so each note has a percussive attack before settling. 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.
