There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Marisol Girard Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 28,800 bps "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."
