notes
A sustained pad of 3 saw slow-swell unison washes under the track, lp 24 db/oct filtered with a slow LFO breathing the cutoff, giving the chorus its width. Written for Nakamori's 1995 album La Alteración; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Yasunori Iwasaki / Takayuki Hattori; period gear: Korg Wavestation, Roland JD-800, Akai S1000 sampler — Latin-tinged synth-pop cut partly for the Spanish-language market).
