notes
Wayne Brathwaite and Barry J. Eastmond kept Love Zone on the same rig as Suddenly: DX7 bass and bells, Jupiter-8/Juno-106 pads and leads, Oberheim OB-8, Emulator sampled stabs and a LinnDrum groove. On "Without You" this sustained pad fills out the arrangement in period-accurate 80s pop/soul style.
