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

The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.
The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

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

Line 11 in the relay table says: 'The key is the pitch of my voice.' The Akasaka reels prove the pitch was modified.

Voice Print GEN-3 means there were two earlier generations. What were GEN-1 and GEN-2?

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!

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