notes
A sustained pad wash sits under "Slow Motion", built from Polymoog pads and Prophet-5 stabs locked to the Roland CR-78 drum machine. Slinky Polymoog pads underpin the song's laid-back groove. Confidence is inferred from the band's documented gear for this era rather than a measured session sheet.
