notes
"Other Animals" on Believe You Me builds around a monosynth bassline, dry and clipped 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 tempo-synced delay sits the part in the mix.
