    808 State · Quadrastate, 1989

    • Bass line · InstrumentVerifiedPlayed the snaking sixteenth-note bass line that finally gave the track its feel; it had no memory so the original line was never written down.
  • Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

    Eurythmics · Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), 1983

    • Synth parts · InstrumentVerifiedTriggered by the drum computer, it played the original powerful sequence, with Lennox’s second keyboard part played in between.
