notes
Airlane opens the record with a flat, unmodulated Minimoog melody doubling the string-like Polymoog wash beneath it; the whole album was made with no guitars, so this lead has to carry the harmonic motion on its own. Keep the envelope tight and the tone dry, matching the cold Numan aesthetic set on Cars.
