There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background. 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. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Brian Johansson | bjohansson@stanford.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 53F4 3B99 7290 81F5 "Keep the channels open."
