notes
A gritty, distorted synth bass grinds through the track's dark groove, consistent with Depeche Mode's long history of pushing analog synths hard into distortion. The band's general 90s gear list is reasonably well documented, but the exact patch for this single isn't, so treat this as a reasonable reconstruction. Push saturation hard and keep the tone dirty.
