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? -- Thiago Kowalski -- European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva "Marcus is not one man."

That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic.

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect. -- Tomas Sánchez US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 14,400 bps "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
