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

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.
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?

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