notes
A restrained pad underscores Boy George's guest verse. A pad part for "Why Go?" built with approximated from Rollo Armstrong & Sister Bliss's known work: they used a Roland JP-8000 for supersaw leads layered against Jupiter-6 pads, Korg MS-20 for resonant filter sweeps and Akai sampler stabs in this era (1997-1998 trance-tinged house). string machine ensemble through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (cutoff around 2430 Hz), shaped by the slow swell over the bar, no sharp attack.
