notes
Album opener; a reviewer likened it to a re-creation of Chic's classic disco sound. A sustained pad built from the JD-800/Akai S1000 rig washes under "We Stand United", slow attack and long release giving the track its widescreen, orchestral scale. A slow filter sweep opens across the intro before the drop.
