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

The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.
Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.

Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch?

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer.

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

I've been looking for that promo 12-inch for four years. Please upload it as a 16-bit WAV file!
