notes
The famous marimba riff is rebuilt on a saw-stack lead with a fast-closing filter envelope so each note snaps like a mallet hit rather than sustaining. A 1/16 slap delay doubles the pattern's density without smearing the rhythm, and a bright plate reverb keeps it forward against the four-on-the-floor kick typical of mid-90s Swedish Eurodance.
