notes
"Life" on Champs Elysees (2000) is French house / filtered disco; the sustained pad bed under the arrangement was built on Roland JX-8P-style JX-8P string ensemble saw x3, filtered and swept to sit under the vocal/sample hooks typical of Bob Sinclar's Yellow Productions-era production, with Akai S3000 / MPC used for the drum/sample layer around it. Filter movement and chorus keep it moving without crowding the mix.
