There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background. The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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? -- Thiago Santos "Do not worship the copy."
