notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from 3 saw -12 detuned 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.
