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

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.

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.
