I have heard this ( used to own it ) and I am ticked that I cannot remember
the name - the entire album was excellent as well...

The sound effect was one of extreme narrow-bandwidth slightly-resonant
filter shifting through the vocal chorus of a song.


And actually, did a quick Google check and it was the song "God is alive /
Magic is afoot"

There was one site that offered a .RA sample but it was not afoot...
