notes
a swelling string-machine pad 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 LP 24 dB/oct filter and 2 saw -1 (digital-modelled) 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.
