notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a cutting monophonic lead answers the vocal phrase by phrase. Built from 2 saw -5 unison through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (tight envelope with almost no movement), it sits in the mix true to the period's Nord Lead and early softsynths kept deliberately in the background of Johnny Marr's guitars-driven productions.
