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

The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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

Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986?

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!
