Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

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

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

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

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.
