notes
The two-note 'bink bink' hook is a percussive synth stab (built on the Synclavier); Dave Ball's Korg Synthe-Bass drives the riff underneath. On this engine: square plus saw through a resonant LP24 with a bright, fast +1.5-octave filter envelope for the percussive stab snap, mono, plate reverb and slap delay for the doubled hit.
