notes
On this Please-era synth-pop track, a slow-attack pad washes under the verses and swells into the chorus. Built from 3 saw -12 detuned 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.
