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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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

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.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

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.
