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

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

The decoded line for Node 04: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH NOT A STAR.'

The Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS is the only one in the world with the unmuted guitar solos. They tried to confiscate all copies.

Look at the Paju blueprint from Korea: five tunnels under the DMZ, but the fifth tunnel had no exit -- it was an acoustic horn.
