notes
The low-end synth-bass part driving the groove on "Back Street Driver" (Catch as Catch Can, 1983). 1983 Wilde-family production: Jupiter-8 bass and stabs, Linn LM-1, early Fairlight CMI colour starting to appear on the choruses (the era of the Nile Rodgers 'Dancing in the Dark' remix). Built from 1 saw -1 + 1 square -1 (sub-doubled), shaped by a LP 24 dB/oct filter (short punchy pluck on the attack, settles to a rounder sustain), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
