Pattern 1: once, then Start pattern 1, but break at the count of three. In the ’87 version, the break starts after a fade out of pattern 1. The break briefly increases the tempo, shows off some 1981 synth drum sounds, then comes back to 78BPM, then loosely repeats the song. You can have a guitarist play the chords above, but the muted guitar scratch part is atonal throughout. There seems to be a guitar part that is playing chords, but only heard through the echo effect return. The Hammond organ provides some indication of harmony. Sean
