notes
A sustained pad of wavetable sweep + 1 saw washes under the track, lp 24 db/oct filtered with a slow LFO breathing the cutoff, giving the chorus its width. 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).
