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

That matches the Ashford memo from 1989. That whisper at the end gave me chills.
