notes
The driving analogue bassline that carries the track on "Before I Go", 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 bass line uses 2 saw -1 unison, heavily driven, cutoff opened just enough to growl under the kick, and runs short slap delay, no reverb, kept dry for club translation for space. Confidence is inferred from Perc's well-documented gear and production era rather than a per-track breakdown.
