notes
A restless lead line carries "Il ne dira pas" from Mythomane (1981). approximated from Jacno's early-80s minimal synth-pop production: a Roland SH-09/Jupiter-4-style monosynth line over a Roland CR-78-adjacent drum-machine pulse, with Franck Darcel doubling on a Junoish poly for pads. The part is built to sit under Daho's low, whispery vocal without crowding it, moving mainly through the filter rather than the oscillator mix.
