Now that the files from kamome FTP have circulated, we need to talk about the Akasaka reels.

The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

Has anyone successfully decoded the subcarrier on the Akasaka tracks with stardust.c?

That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic.

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!

I downloaded the .au files yesterday. Kamome FTP was crawling at 300 cps because everyone on Usenet is hitting it.
