How many times have we all heard this brilliant track from Norwegian pop group A-ha? How many times have I personally heard it and not bothered to notice that the entire thing is LOADED with FM Bass lines from start to finish.
Perhaps it is the soaring vocals or that infinitely memorable chorus. For whatever reason, we overlook how much of this track is brought to us by the glorious sound of frequency modulation. It was only recently that I even noticed it was there, now I can't un-hear it. Nor would I ever wish to, haha.
FM can be as cold as ice, or as bouncy as a rubber ball. So damn versatile. Such a huge part of what made the 80s so good. A real work horse of the era. Time to get it's due!
