notes
a swelling string-machine pad on this Liberty (1990) track, built on Korg M1 and Roland D-50, approximated from the band's known late-80s/early-90s digital rig. The LP 24 dB/oct filter and PCM/saw hybrid -1 oscillator stack sit inside the band's pop rock sound for this era, shaped and modulated to suit the part's role in the arrangement.
