notes
The record opens cold on a sustained ARP string-synth chord before the rhythm section kicks in, one of the most recognisable synth intros of the disco era, from keyboardist Blue Weaver's well-documented rig with the Bee Gees. It continues as a pad under the groove through the rest of the track.
