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.

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

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
