On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Yuki Schneider | yschneider@hanse.de PGP Key fingerprint: 39F4 00EE 977B 83EE "Keep the channels open."
