Track by track with Scuba
Descent
“Everyone is influenced by Blade Runner and Vangelis. This track has all those little descending slides that he uses on that soundtrack. I nicked that, wholesale. It’s all over this record, in a completely unapologetic way [laughs].
“It’s kind of an organ [mimes a descending note], which was definitely from a pack of Kontakt vintage patches. I’ve lost it, and I always curse myself for losing it, because I can’t remember what it was, and it’s all over this stuff.
“Just stuff like percussive organs, and kind of Juno-type synth patches, you know? And 101 bass-type stuff. Just all those things. Back then it was sounding great. If any readers know what it was, get in touch!”
Latch
“I remember playing this to someone at a sound check and them saying, ‘Are you happy with this?’ . It ended up being one of the more successful tracks off the record. So, you know, what can you do?
