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

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

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

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

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