Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. 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 Martínez US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 33,600 bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
