notes
A monosynth bass line sits under "War Child", built from Fairlight CMI stabs and Synclavier textures over Oberheim pad washes. A driving Prophet-5/Oberheim synth-bass line, extended on the 1994 12-inch mix, carries Harrison's composition. Confidence is inferred from the band's documented gear for this era rather than a measured session sheet.
