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.
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?

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

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

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
