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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.

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

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