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. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Matthias Kowalski "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
