notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a slow-attack pad washes under the verses and swells into the chorus. Built from string-machine ensemble -8 through a LP 12 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.
