Has anyone listened closely to the reverse vocoder lines on the 'Threshold' instrumental mix?

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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.

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

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
