A biting, resonant ARP 2600 lead, saw and square stacked for grit, a wide filter-envelope sweep on each phrase for the growling vocal-like character, and portamento glide between notes for the sliding pitch-bend effects Winter played live via the instrument's ribbon controller. Ring modulation colours the drum-solo breakdown section.
