Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Min-jun Smirnov Zyxel U-1496E @ 28,800 bps "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
