The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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.

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal. -- === Kenji MacDonald === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Public Access Unix of New York "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
