The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. 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.'. -- === Seo-yeon Girard === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin "They will send a copy in my place."
