notes
'W.Y.H.I.W.Y.G.' (1987): The 7-minute opener, the album's most developed arrangement, arpeggiated bass building through several sections. A fast 16th-note arpeggiated synth figure driving the groove, 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.
