The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. Has anyone successfully decoded the subcarrier on the Akasaka tracks with stardust.c? -- Emi Suzuki -- UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
