notes
The melodic, rolling synth bassline is the backbone of the track. Peter Hook has said the line was influenced by an Ennio Morricone soundtrack cue; the drum machine (Oberheim DMX) and sampler (Emulator) are well documented, but no source names the specific bass synth, so the patch here is a plausible reconstruction, not a confirmed one.
