notes
Tear Down These Walls brought in Fairlight and Synclavier programming alongside the DX7/Jupiter-8/Emulator stack, with Teddy Riley's early new jack swing touch tightening the drum programming on several cuts. On "Tear Down These Walls" this synth bass line anchors the chorus hook in period-accurate 80s pop/soul style.
