Let's connect the dots between the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS and July 6, 1988.

A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.
On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'.

The mural in Coyoacán still shows his face, but people say when the streetlight flickers it glitters into someone else.

I live in Mexico City. Everyone here remembers 'se cayó el sistema'. But nobody outside Mexico knows about the Coyoacán radio pirate.
