There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background. 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? -- Natalia Ito | nito@kth.se PGP Key fingerprint: A46C AF14 2D52 E744 "Keep the channels open."

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal. -- Emi Fournier "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
