notes
The top-line synth hook on "My Head Is Slowly Exploding", built from the all-hardware, heavily-distorted studio behind Wicker & Steel and The Power And The Glory: SH-101-style monosynth and Doepfer modular driven hard into guitar/fuzz pedals for the scorched, industrial low end that defined this run of records. The lead line uses 1 square -1 + noise burst, cutoff swept for movement across the arrangement, and runs a touch of plate reverb, delay thrown in on the off-beat for space. Confidence is inferred from Perc's well-documented gear and production era rather than a per-track breakdown.
