notes
On this Bilingual-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from 3 saw -12 detuned 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.
