The instrumental B-side of 'Midnight Animal' is one of the most underrated synth tracks of the decade.

Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.
The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.

Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch?

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

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

I've been looking for that promo 12-inch for four years. Please upload it as a 16-bit WAV file!
