notes
A synth bass line under the guitars and rhythm section on "On the Rocks", built on Andrew Farriss's Kick rig (Akai S900 sampler, Roland D-50 and DX7 stabs over the Chris Thomas Kick sessions, Farriss's rig by then built around samples and the D-50). Demo/out-take; a sampled synth bass drives the groove.
