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. 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? -- Hugo Suzuki *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Bill Ramírez Tape trading list upon request.
