notes
On "Desperately" (Born to Sing, 1990), the lead part carries a bright DX7 lead line answering the vocal. Built from Foster & McElroy's Born to Sing rig: Yamaha DX7 II FM electric piano and bell tones, Yamaha TX81Z for the 'Lately Bass' FM sub, Roland D-50 pads, Korg M1 piano/organ patches, and Akai MPC/Ensoniq sampler-driven new jack swing drum programming.
