notes
The famous orchestral melody is recast as a legato Moog lead with heavy portamento sliding between held notes, resonance pushed up so long tones ring at the filter's peak. It typifies Moroder's mid-70s disco-cover formula: replace the string section with one expressive monophonic synth voice over a four-on-the-floor groove.
