Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.
There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

Upload coming to the Ashford Poly incoming FTP directory once my upload finishes.

The Akasaka branch memos specifically ordered: 'Under no circumstances allow instrumental dubs of Node 02 masters to be sold commercially.'

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer.
