The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. 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? -- Pavel García | pgarcia@kiae.su PGP Key fingerprint: E77B 0FBE FF25 4465 "Keep the channels open."
