Matteo's Retro Wave & Nova Hart Sanctuary

★ Hi

Hi, I'm Matteo! 31 years old, Auckland. A dubbed tape from my older cousin is how it started. Now there's a Nova shrine on top of my monitor.

★ Lyric Discrepancy & Translation Anomalies

• At 4:17: US lyric says 'dream', regional master vocal take clearly says 'machine'.
• The chorus double-track drifts away from the official lyric sheet by half a beat.

★ VHS Off-Air Recording Log

• 1985-06-08 Hamburg broadcast 'Memory Hatch' freeze (tape degradation: heavy)
• 1986-10-12 Meridian Broadcast live satellite capture (clean audio, some dropout)
• 1989-12-09 Final broadcast recording (Nova looks off camera at 4:17)

I drew the SYNTHESIS cover from memory. The platinum hair took a whole marker.
