Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. 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. -- === Renata Sánchez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, INRIA Rocquencourt "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.
