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. Kamome sysop says there were three more reels in the box that haven't been dumped yet.
