notes
On this Bilingual-era synth-pop track, short synth-brass stabs punctuate the chorus hits. Built from 1 saw + 1 square -2 through a LP 24 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.
