notes
On this Bilingual-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from string-machine ensemble -8 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 01/W plus Emu Vintage Keys-driven productions.
