notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from 2 saw + choir wave -10 through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (envelope opens then closes on each note), 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.
