notes
On this Please-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from string-machine ensemble -8 through a LP 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.
