notes
The low end is a 2 saw -1 unison, tight synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 240 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. 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).
