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

The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.
There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

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.
