notes
On this Please-era synth-pop track, an arpeggiated figure outlines the chord changes under the vocal. Built from 1 square -3 through a BP 12 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.
