The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Steve Kang Hayes Optima 288 @ 19,200 bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

I downloaded the .au files yesterday. Kamome FTP was crawling at 300 cps because everyone on Usenet is hitting it. -- Joachim Sokolov Hayes Optima 288 @ 9600 Telebit bps "Hardware is temporary.
