notes
On this Please-era synth-pop track, a cutting monophonic lead answers the vocal phrase by phrase. Built from 1 saw + 1 square -4 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (slow filter opening across the phrase), it sits in the mix true to the period's Fairlight CMI and Emulator II sampling workstations plus a Roland Jupiter-6 and Yamaha DX7-driven productions.
