Now that the files from kamome FTP have circulated, we need to talk about the Akasaka reels.

Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.
The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.

Kamome sysop says there were three more reels in the box that haven't been dumped yet. Keep checking the FTP!

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.

Voice Print GEN-3 means there were two earlier generations. What were GEN-1 and GEN-2?

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!
