notes
"John" on Believe You Me builds around a monosynth bassline, clipped and nervy in character. Cut with the Believe You Me rig (Fairlight CMI, DX7, Jupiter-8, Pro-One, Emulator), the patch leans on a tight, mono signal for definition. The filter opens on the intro then settles, and a touch of drive into the desk sits the part in the mix.
