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.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

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

Stop hammering kamome! The sysop posted that the phone bill for the relay is already astronomical.

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