Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

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.
There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

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.
