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 "Licence to Chill" this rhythmic stab anchors the chorus hook in period-accurate 80s pop/soul style.
