The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. 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. Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch? -- Graham Schneider -- University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Raj Schneider US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 9600 Telebit bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
