Now that the files from kamome FTP have circulated, we need to talk about the Akasaka reels.

The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.
Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.

Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'.

Worked fine for me with ncftp on my Linux box. Get a real operating system and stop complaining.

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

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
