notes
A slow-moving 2 saw -1 pad washes under the verses, low-pass filtered at 12 dB/oct, cutoff around 5392 Hz with modest resonance, giving the arrangement its atmosphere and sustain. Fits the Sugar Tax/Liberator rebuild, McCluskey's solo-era rig of workstation synths, rack modules and an Akai sampler.
