The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. 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. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- === Morag Watanabe === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory "We don't sign stars.

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Camila Stewart "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
