Recorded in 1994, this track sounded so different than other x-eleven songs that I considered starting an entirely new project based on the sound. Featuring the dulcet tones of the Roland TR606 drumbox (sampled into my ASR10M because I had no way of syncing the unit’s internal sequencer to MIDI clock), and a Roland MKS20 piano riff straight out of Joe Jackson’s “Night and Day” album, this one has always been a personal favorite. It kicks off with some scat singing on the very rare, very strange Korg DVP-1 vocoder and then launches into a call to arms by a heavily distorted Prophet VS. The groove settles down a few bars later, with the Roland R-8 pumping the rolling bassline and the 606 samples kicking the backbeats. The song’s twin themes are a descending Casio VZ10M organ riff (using a factory sound, of course) and the MKS20 piano chorus. A sampled Sequential Pro-One dials 1-900 sex line numbers over the top of it all, while Isabella Rossellini reprises her “Blue Velvet” role and asks us if we like the way she feels.
