notes
a swelling string-machine pad on this Medazzaland (1997) track, built on Korg Trinity and Roland JD-990, approximated from Rhodes and Cuccurullo's TV Mania-era industrial rig. The LP 24 dB/oct filter and 2 saw -2, hard sync flavour oscillator stack sit inside the band's electronic/industrial rock sound for this era, shaped and modulated to suit the part's role in the arrangement.
