notes
On this Yes-era synth-pop track, a mono synth bass plays the root-note pulse that drives the whole track. Built from 1 square -1 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (envelope opens then closes on each note), it sits in the mix true to the period's Nord Lead and Access Virus TI under Xenomania (Brian Higgins)-driven productions.
