notes
On "Gemini", documented rig: Yamaha CS-80 and Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 for pads and leads, Oberheim OB-Xa for bass and stabs, Roland Jupiter-8 for the sequenced arps. Here it carries the lead synth line, single-note and vibrato-tinged to sit like a voice in the mix. Reconstructed by ear from the record; no official patch sheet survives for this part, so the specific oscillator and filter values are an informed approximation anchored to the album's known gear.
