The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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. Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch? -- Freya Choi -- Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Matthias Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

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