notes
On "Tango the Night" the keys part is a detuned, ethnic-flavoured line colouring the song's exotic theme. Rob and Ferdi Bolland built the track around their signature stack: PPG Wave wavetable pads, Fairlight CMI orchestral stabs, a Jupiter-8/Oberheim OB-8 for bass and leads, and a Linn 9000 for the groove. A tango-flavoured PPG/Fairlight patch stands in for the accordion figure.
