notes
On this Very-era synth-pop track, a synth-keys part doubles the piano/guitar figure with extra body. Built from FM 2-op electric piano through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (fast snap that settles over the sustain), it sits in the mix true to the period's Roland JD-800 and Korg Wavestation/M1 digital synths under Stephen Hague-driven productions.
