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.

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

The Akasaka branch memos specifically ordered: 'Under no circumstances allow instrumental dubs of Node 02 masters to be sold commercially.'

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
