notes
The atmospheric synth fx/texture layer on "Dream Sequence" (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 noise + 1 saw -2 (swept texture), shaped by a BP 12 dB/oct filter (long sweeping automation across the section), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
