notes
"Sky's Too High": This is warmer and more emotive than his earlier peak-time records: a Prophet-6 pad over an SH-101 sub bass. The arpeggio locks to the groove, a tight envelope snap on every note, the kind of looping figure that defines his hypnotic productions. No measured patch exists; approximated from Paganini's documented gear and production style for this era.
