notes
On this Nightlife-era synth-pop track, a filtered stab pattern accents the off-beats. Built from 1 saw + 1 square -2 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (tight envelope with almost no movement), 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.
