notes
'Melt' (1993): A slower, heavier track with a sustained pad under the distorted bass, later reworked with lead vocals on the sister album. The sequenced mono synth-bass line that carries the track, built on a harder-driven acid-adjacent bass sequence pushed through analog distortion, with Emax/Akai sample stabs -- the more aggressive electro-industrial direction of the 1993 Epic albums. Confidence is inferred from Front 242's documented studio setup for this record, not a measured patch capture.
