Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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?

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