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. -- Hugo Sokolov Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
