notes
MPC2000XL sample layering; sparse added synth, warm and soulful in period. On 'We Don't Care', this shows up as synth-horn stab punctuating the chorus behind the chipmunked sample, mimicking a brass section. Patch built from the album's documented/era-typical gear rather than a leaked session file, so treat cutoff and envelope numbers as representative of the era, not a measured capture.
