notes
On this Nonetheless-era synth-pop track, a string-machine-style pad sustains the chord bed beneath the vocal. Built from 2 saw + choir wave -10 through a LP 12 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.
