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 The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch? -- === Callum Choi === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
