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

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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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

The Akasaka branch memos specifically ordered: 'Under no circumstances allow instrumental dubs of Node 02 masters to be sold commercially.'

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