notes
On this Behaviour-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from string-machine ensemble -8 through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (tight envelope with almost no movement), it sits in the mix true to the period's Roland D-50 and Emulator III pads over Yamaha DX7 and Prophet-VS-style layers-driven productions.
