notes
A digital hybrid saw+square lead carries the record's operatic answer-phrase to the vocal, voiced bright and mostly dry with a fast filter bite so it cuts through the stacked choir vocals. A light pitch-LFO vibrato and stereo chorus give it the slightly camp, widescreen Hi-NRG sheen the Bard/Wollbeck productions were known for.
