notes
a sequenced arpeggio on this Rio (1982) track, built on Roland Jupiter-8, the synth that defines the Rio album's sound. The LP 12 dB/oct filter and 2 saw -1 + sub oscillator stack sit inside the band's new wave/synth-pop sound for this era, shaped and modulated to suit the part's role in the arrangement.
