notes
On this Nonetheless-era synth-pop track, a stacked-saw lead doubles the vocal melody in the choruses. Built from 1 saw + 1 square -4 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter (tight envelope with almost no movement), it sits in the mix true to the period's Moog and Prophet-5/OB-6-style analogue synths blended with Jules Buckley's orchestral arrangements under James Ford-driven productions.
