notes
On this Yes-era synth-pop track, a mono synth bass plays the root-note pulse that drives the whole track. Built from 2 saw -3 + sub through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (fast snap that settles over the sustain), it sits in the mix true to the period's Nord Lead and Access Virus TI under Xenomania (Brian Higgins)-driven productions.
