notes
A textural synth/fx layer sits under "Die Young Stay Pretty", built from Polymoog pads and Prophet-5 stabs locked to the Roland CR-78 drum machine. Dub-inflected VP-330 vocoder swells colour the reggae-tinged bridge. Confidence is inferred from the band's documented gear for this era rather than a measured session sheet.
