Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Matthias López "Row 14. No joke."

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect. -- === Dmitri Laurent === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
