notes
The record's famous slow-to-fast structure is underscored by a synth-string pad that thickens as the tempo lifts, in the Moroder/Bellotte production style, though the exact instrument credited for this specific track is not confirmed in a source this reconstruction is confident of. Reconstructed by ear.
