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

There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.
Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.

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!

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
