notes
A ballroom/vogue-inflected album track later used in a film soundtrack. Punchy stab hits on "Viva la Vogue" are stacked saws through the Roland D-50/Korg M1 rig, fast attack and short decay for that classic Bard/Wollbeck accent hit. Vibrato-style LFO on pitch nods to the band's theatrical, camp production style.
