★ G'day!

Howdy! Bec writing from Darwin. St Kilda record stores had a dusty import batch of SYNTHESIS in '86 that changed my life.

★ 14.2 Hz Signal Scan

Running spectrum analysis on the Triple J broadcast recording shows the unmistakable 14.2 Hz sub-audible carrier ringing true.

 Frequency (Hz) | Level (dB) | Spectral Density [FFT 4096]
----------------+------------+--------------------------------
  10.0 Hz       |  -64 dB    | *
  14.2 Hz [PEAK]|  -42 dB    | ************************** [CARRIER]
  18.5 Hz       |  -68 dB    | *
  50/60 Hz      |  -52 dB    | ******* [MAINS HUM]

★ Top Track

'Chrome Velocity'. At 3:28 you can hear the live foldback feed glitch out. Unreal in headphones.

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

Everyone says 14.2 Hz is a secret code. I say it's a sub-harmonic of something in the mastering chain. Prove me wrong. (Someone did, sort of. I'm still sceptical.)

★ Aussie Vinyl & Cassettes

Imported US cassette picked up in Melbourne's Missing Link records.
