Spent the weekend analyzing the reel box scans and audio recovered from Akihabara last month.

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?

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