notes
A 2 saw -1 lead line doubles or answers the vocal melody, low-pass filtered at 12 dB/oct, cutoff around 1374 Hz with modest resonance, cutting through the mix as the track's hook. Fits the Sugar Tax/Liberator rebuild, McCluskey's solo-era rig of workstation synths, rack modules and an Akai sampler.
