notes
On this Nightlife-era synth-pop track, a cutting monophonic lead answers the vocal phrase by phrase. Built from 1 pulse PWM -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 JP-8000 supersaws and a Nord Lead 2 over Korg Triton pads-driven productions.
