notes
"Side Two" as a standalone single builds around a textural synth effect layer, 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 tracks the vocal phrasing, and tempo-synced delay sits the part in the mix.
