Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

Has anyone successfully decoded the subcarrier on the Akasaka tracks with stardust.c?

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.

That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic.

I downloaded the .au files yesterday. Kamome FTP was crawling at 300 cps because everyone on Usenet is hitting it.

Stop hammering kamome! The sysop posted that the phone bill for the relay is already astronomical.
