notes
On this Bilingual-era synth-pop track, an octave-jumping synth bass doubles the bassline under the vocal. Built from 1 pulse 25% -1 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.
