notes
a synth lead line on this Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983) track, built on Elka Synthex and Roland Jupiter-8, both documented on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger sessions. The LP 24 dB/oct filter and 2 saw -1 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.
