Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.
The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

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

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

Can someone please uuencode the .au files and post them to alt.binaries.sounds.music? The FTP site keeps rejecting my login.
