notes
On this Bilingual-era synth-pop track, a bright detuned lead carries the topline hook. Built from 1 saw + 1 square -4 through a LP 24 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.
