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The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.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

I've been looking for that promo 12-inch for four years. Please upload it as a 16-bit WAV file!

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