notes
'Rerun Time' (1987): A driving mid-album track with a bright lead line cutting through the sequenced bass. A bright monophonic synth lead doubling or answering the vocal line, built on Juno/Jupiter-family analog bass synths sequenced against an early Yamaha DX7 for metallic stabs, the setup Front 242 favoured through the Wax Trax! years. Confidence is inferred from Front 242's documented studio setup for this record, not a measured patch capture.
