Comparing the Western synth-pop arrangements with the Japanese singles released between 1984 and 1988.

You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.
The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.

Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP?

The slap bass player on 'Midnight Animal' is almost certainly a studio legend like Kenji Takamizu.
