notes
A layered string/pad wash sits behind the vocal and rhythm section, swelling slowly rather than tracking the beat. Built on the 1988-90 Lovesexy/Batman/Graffiti Bridge era keyboard rig (Fairlight CMI III, Yamaha DX7 II, E-mu Emulator III), it gives the funk/gospel-pop arrangement its harmonic bed without competing for space.
