What's the story behind the Larrabee Mix? Does it actually work with the recorded vocals?

I believed it to be the very first version but Sundberg has a file labelled the day before. That confuses me.

Jul 19, 1993 is what the tape says. However, this could be the version with vocals we dont know

He produced, co-wrote and sung it.

Dates on cassettes/tapes usually indicate the day of copy/transfer on to storage media. This hasn't necessarily be identical with day of recording.
 
Lowkey, doesn't the Cascio Tracks give off ARG mystery vibes? Like imagine:
"12 never heard before Michael Jackson songs leak onto the internet, but something's off. This doesn't sound like Michael, and we don't know where or when these songs were recorded and if Michael actually recorded them."

The question then remains: What does Sundberg's label mean? Day of recording or transfer? Was he present at the recording?

Comparing several of his other files like for example his Turnin' Me Off transfer, it is labelled "Turnin' Me Off 1-30-89 CASS". Since it's a recording from October 30, 1986, I'm guessing he uses the DAT dates, not the recording dates.

Pretty much day of transfer. This could be also the day of recording if both happened the on the same day.
 
What's that "Tree of Life" ?
I've seen it being mentioned multiple times but we didn't get any info on that.
 
So Bryan did about 25 max songs for Decade/Dangerous between 89-91. I don't think that includes stuff in 93? So Family Thing/Dream Girl/etc. wouldn't be apart of that. I find it interesting that he would do further songs for Michael when he bitterly walked out of the studio when Teddy took over, even declining to work on Jam to get something to his name. That whole scenario in 91-92 led to Music From the New World failing (with only 1,000 copies released into Japanese bargain bins) and Arista dropping him (which he seemed to imply to me when we talked that he hates the album given the history associated with it). It makes me wonder if he didn't go back to Michael due to limited options. Bryan also reportedly sang backup on Money at Hit Factory according to him, and the vox aren't separated at all from Michael's. Strangely enough, I believe he said there wasn't much of a collaboration after this, BUT to someone else claimed he worked on Invincible (claiming a Dangerous era song he worked on was actually during Invincible despite zero evidence).
