notes
On this Behaviour-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 (envelope opens then closes on each note), 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.
