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. -- === Marta López === Dept of Electrical Engineering, MindSpring Enterprises "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

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