notes
The electric-piano-style synth keys part on "Thought It Was Goodbye" (Teases & Dares, 1984). 1984 Wilde-family production: transitional kit, Jupiter-8 alongside an early Yamaha DX7 for bells and stabs, guitars pushed forward with synth pads filling behind them. Built from 2 sine + 1 triangle (FM-style electric piano stack), shaped by a LP 12 dB/oct filter (gentle bell-like decay, minimal movement), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
