On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- === Elaine Moreau === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "The hatch is open.

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- === Seo-yeon Eriksson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Oxford University Computing Laboratory "Row 14. No joke."
