notes
The lead synth line carrying the hook/melody on "Can You Hear It" (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 2 saw -1 + 1 square -1 unison, shaped by a LP 24 dB/oct filter (fast open on the attack, tracks the melody line), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
