Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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?

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer.
