notes
The famous rising, siren-like lead sweeps across the track's build, a signature of Boris Blank's Fairlight-and-hardware-synth hybrid production; the track was a huge Benelux club and chart hit for the Swiss duo without ever crossing to a UK or US chart placement of note. Reconstructed by ear against Yello's well-documented late-80s studio approach.
