notes
Minor-key sampled string pads and a syncopated Jupiter bass; Emulator II hits give the urban texture. The original is sampled orchestral strings, not a subtractive patch, so this is the closest analog approximation: a detuned saw-and-square layer through a wide-open LP24 around 1.8 kHz, slow amp swell, and the same Lexicon 224XL hall plus AMS delay that Stephen Hague used on the record.
