notes
On this Nonetheless-era synth-pop track, a mono synth bass plays the root-note pulse that drives the whole track. Built from 1 pulse 25% -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 Moog and Prophet-5/OB-6-style analogue synths blended with Jules Buckley's orchestral arrangements under James Ford-driven productions.
