notes
On this Behaviour-era synth-pop track, a mono synth bass plays the root-note pulse that drives the whole track. Built from 1 square -1 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (tight envelope with almost no movement), it sits in the mix true to the period's Roland D-50 and Emulator III pads over Yamaha DX7 and Prophet-VS-style layers-driven productions.
