notes
a textural synth fx layer on this Big Thing (1988) track, built on Fairlight CMI Series III and Yamaha DX7, the digital rig documented on the Big Thing sessions. The HP 12 dB/oct filter and noise + 1 saw -2 oscillator stack sit inside the band's pop rock/dance sound for this era, shaped and modulated to suit the part's role in the arrangement.
