notes
Wide detuned pad sustaining the harmony under Never Too Far, Roland JV-2080 disco-strings patch layered over MPC breakbeats providing slow-attack strings/choir character typical of Glitter. Filter and amp envelopes are both slow so the pad breathes with the vocal rather than punching through it.
