notes
A round, sub-reinforced house bass drives the follow-up to Everybody Everybody, built the same way as the Reggio Emilia team's earlier hits: a single filtered square wave plucked on the downbeat with a sine sub underneath. No session sheet survives; reconstructed from the record's texture and the Groove Groove Melody camp's well-documented early-90s Italian house sound.
