Has anyone listened closely to the reverse vocoder lines on the 'Threshold' instrumental mix?

Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.
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.

Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986?
