notes
Keith Diamond and Barry J. Eastmond's Suddenly sessions ran on a Yamaha DX7 for bass and bell tones, a Roland Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 for pads and leads, an Oberheim OB-8, an Emulator for orchestral stabs, and a LinnDrum driving the groove. On "Syncopation" this synth bass line fills out the arrangement in period-accurate 80s pop/soul style.
