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.

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

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

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

That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
