notes
On this Very-era synth-pop track, a slow-attack pad washes under the verses and swells into the chorus. Built from 2 saw + choir wave -10 through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (slow filter opening across the phrase), it sits in the mix true to the period's Roland JD-800 and Korg Wavestation/M1 digital synths under Stephen Hague-driven productions.
