The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Mike Campbell *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.
