notes
"Echoes & Lights": This is warmer and more emotive than his earlier peak-time records: a Prophet-6 pad over an SH-101 sub bass. The pad washes underneath, a long release that blurs into the next note, colouring the track without competing with the drums. No measured patch exists; approximated from Paganini's documented gear and production style for this era.
