notes
On this Release-era synth-pop track, a clipped, resonant bass line locks to the kick and carries the harmonic movement. Built from 2 saw -3 + sub 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.
