notes
Rhythmic synth stabs built from 1 saw + 1 square, brass-stab voicing punctuate the arrangement, filtered bp 12 db/oct with a fast, percussive envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1988 album Femme Fatale; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Alan Gorrie / Scott Wilk; period gear: Yamaha DX7II, Roland D-50, Emulator II sampler, Oberheim Matrix-12 — cut with Alan Gorrie (Average White Band) on the writing/arranging side, leaning the record toward synth-bass funk).
