Trivia/Info

  • This rough mix contains most of the same basic tracks as the final album version of the song, but features a few notable differences:
    • The drum track is played with a Yamaha RX-11 drum machine, rather than the Alesis HR-16 used in the final version. The tom drum sound in particular is significantly shorter and quieter than in the final mix.
    • The lead vocal features a slight phaser effect.
    • The saxophone track is mixed with more reverb.
    • The hi-hats are panned to the center rather than to the right.
