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? -- Katrin Stewart Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From nlee@purdue.edu Wed Nov 06 01:16:15 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!purdue!nlee From: nlee@purdue.edu (Nadia Lee) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Akasaka Master Tapes recovery (May 1995) - full tracklist analysis Message-ID: <1996Nov06.011615.5466@purdue.edu> Date: Wed, 06 Nov 1996 01:16:15 GMT References: <1996Nov04.153515.6434@mit.edu> Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network NNTP-Posting-Host: purdue.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1996Nov04.153515.6434@mit.edu>, kstewart@mit.edu (Katrin Stewart) writes: > Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

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