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? -- Natalia Nilsson -- Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Mateo Fournier "Hold for relay."
