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. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Nadia Kim | nkim@rwth-aachen.de PGP Key fingerprint: 0613 3090 86A0 8DCB "Keep the channels open."
