notes
The relentless, driving sub-bass sequence is the spine of the track, dark and slightly overdriven, and it became the breakthrough single that carried the Belgian EBM sound to a wider audience. Reconstructed by ear against the group's documented late-80s analogue/drum-machine rig; no patch sheet survives.
