Here are the facts. Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas. The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Aiko Novak "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

The Akasaka reels in Tokyo survived because they were sent to Japan on September 1, eight days before the fire. -- Raj Müller -- University of Tokyo Department of Information Science "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
