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? -- Freya Fournier -- Demon Internet Services UK "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
