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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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

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