notes
On this Nightlife-era synth-pop track, an octave-jumping synth bass doubles the bassline under the vocal. Built from 2 saw -3 + sub through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (slow filter opening across the phrase), 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.
