Let's look at the biophysics of 14.2 Hz from a medical and psychoacoustic perspective.

Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.
This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown.

Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment?

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
