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

The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.
There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch?

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