This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. Orion didn't just write pop songs; they engineered a neuro-chemical delivery mechanism disguised as synth-pop. -- Ines Lee "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable.

A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone. -- Natalia López -- University of Texas at Austin "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
