notes
On this Very-era synth-pop track, a cutting monophonic lead answers the vocal phrase by phrase. Built from 1 pulse PWM -1 through a LP 24 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.
