Sister Feelings Call (1981), produced by Steve Hillage. Approximated from Simple Minds' documented 1981-era rig (Roland Jupiter-8 / Sequential Prophet-5 / Oberheim OB-Xa): a keys part built as 1 sine + 1 saw -1 (electric-piano-like), filtered through a lp12 stage with cutoff moving as static, timbre from the oscillator mix.
