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. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Natalia Sato | nsato@unam.mx PGP Key fingerprint: 42F9 73CD 5A42 942D "Keep the channels open."

That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect. -- Diego Kim Hayes Optima 288 @ 9600 Telebit bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
