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

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.
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!

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
