Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP. Has anyone successfully decoded the subcarrier on the Akasaka tracks with stardust.c? -- Kenji Nilsson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect. -- Graham Reyes Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Tokyo Department of Information Science. ------------------------------------------------------------
