notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a slow-attack pad washes under the verses and swells into the chorus. Built from 2 saw + choir wave -10 through a LP 12 dB/oct filter (slow filter opening across the phrase), 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.
