notes
The lead line is built from 1 saw + 1 pulse, PWM sweep, cut lp 12 db/oct near 6360 Hz with the filter gentle bow-in as the note sustains; it sits on top of the arrangement carrying the vocal-answering hook. Written for Nakamori's 1987 album Cross My Palm; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Chris Morris / Barrie Corbett; period gear: Fairlight CMI Series III, Synclavier, Roland D-50, LinnDrum/Simmons — recorded with UK session players and programmers).
