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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.
There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

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.

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