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. Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- === Tomas Tanaka === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg "Marcus is not one man."

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