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

That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic. -- Jen Stewart "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
