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 The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Aiko Park Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal. -- Bill Park "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
