notes
'No G.D.M.' from Wild! (1989): the melodic synth lead doubling or answering the vocal hook, built in the style of ARP 2600 and Roland System 100 for bass/lead, Sequential Pro-One for mono leads, Yamaha CS-80 for pads, Emulator II sampler for hits and strings. The patch leans on 2 saw -6 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter, shaped for the track's uptempo feel.
