notes
Wright's Minimoog lead with a long, expressive glide sits over Solina strings and a wine-glass drone intro. On this engine: two saws plus a triangle through a moderately resonant LP24 around 1 kHz, mod-wheel-style vibrato on pitch, a long 150 ms glide, and Binson Echorec-style repeats trailing every phrase.
