notes
A massive, slow-swelling choir-and-strings pad, built from Vangelis's long-standing layered synth-orchestra technique, underpins this German #1 theme. Vangelis's known CS-80-descended studio practice of the period is the basis for this reconstruction; no confirmed patch sheet for this specific cue is public.
