notes
ARP 2600 with its built-in sequencer driving a filtered sawtooth bass, the classic Alain Wisniak/Cerrone disco-bass rig from Trident Studios. Lead single from Angelina, recorded in Los Angeles with the musicians backing Toto; reviewers noted a resemblance to Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff', so the bass and lead lean harder and more rock-inflected than Cerrone's earlier Paris sessions.
