notes
AllMusic noted French vocals and 'random theremin noises' on this track; the lead approximates that theremin-style glide. A sustained pad built from the Roland D-50/Korg M1 rig washes under "Scorpio Rising", slow attack and long release giving the track its widescreen, orchestral scale. Filter cutoff and resonance are pushed up on the chorus for extra bite.
