notes
MPC2000XL sample layering; sparse added synth, warm and soulful in period. On 'Last Call', this shows up as a descending Moog-style bass line syncing with the extended closing monologue. 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.
