notes
Billboard called it 'bombastic'; 1992 reissue opening track. The lead line on "Dynasty of Planet Chromada" is voiced on the JD-800/Akai S1000 rig, detuned saws pushed through a bright filter sweep to cut over the choir/orchestral bed. The envelope is kept snappy to match the group's driving four-on-the-floor tempo.
