notes
A rounded, softly filtered synth bass doubles and thickens the live bass guitar's reggae-inflected line, in keeping with Farian's habit of layering synth under the band's session-player rhythm section rather than replacing it. Reconstructed by ear from the record; no confirmed patch sheet from the Hansa/Union sessions survives publicly.
