The instrumental B-side of 'Midnight Animal' is one of the most underrated synth tracks of the decade.

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.

Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch?

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.

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