notes
On this Bilingual-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 (tight envelope with almost no movement), it sits in the mix true to the period's Roland JD-800 and Korg 01/W plus Emu Vintage Keys-driven productions.
