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.
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.

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

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

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.

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