Life in a Day (1979), produced by John Leckie. Approximated from Simple Minds' documented 1979-era rig (Roland Jupiter-4/early Jupiter-series polysynth / Sequential Prophet-5): a lead part built as 2 saw -12 cents detune, filtered through a lp24 stage with cutoff moving as gentle open on phrase starts.
