Street Fighting Years (1989), produced by Trevor Horn / Stephen Lipson. Approximated from Simple Minds' documented 1989-era rig (Yamaha DX7 / Roland D-50 / E-mu Emulator II sampler / PPG Wave textures): a stab part built as 2 saw + 1 square, filtered through a lp24 stage with cutoff moving as hard snap, closes fast.
