notes
A chugging, staccato analogue bass sequence powers this upbeat non-album B-side from the A Broken Frame sessions. Built as a synth bass line in the style of A Broken Frame-era Depeche Mode, drawing on ARP 2600 (used for sequenced bass-drum and bass parts), Roland Promars, Roland SH-101 and a newly bought PPG Wave 2.
